| Description: | Greatest Hits by Solomon Burke, released 25 February 2013.
This version of Greatest Hits comes as a 1xCD. - Although never a major seller on the Pop chart (he never made the Top Twenty during his career), Solomon Burke was still an influential artist at the start of the 1960's. His distinctive vocal, a mix of Gospel, Pop and Country music and some lush productions made him the artist that a lot of others aspired to be; it is no surprise that the Rolling Stones should cover his Cry to Me during their own early days. It is fitting that Solomon spent the best years of his career with Atlantic Records, for his recordings have come to symbolize what the label was all about throughout that particular decade. This particular album was originally released in 1962 and is as fresh and relevant now as it was then."Greatest Hits" by Solomon Burke is a remarkable CD collection that brings together some of the most iconic tracks from one of soul music?s true pioneers. Released by Hallmark, this compilation showcases Burke's powerful voice and emotive delivery across classic songs such as "Cry to Me," "Everybody Needs Somebody to Love," and "If You Need Me." The album serves both as an introduction for new listeners and a nostalgic journey for long-time fans, capturing the essence of 1960s soul with timeless production values.
Solomon Burke was known as the ?King of Rock ?n? Soul,? celebrated for his dynamic stage presence and deeply expressive vocals. With a career spanning over five decades, he influenced generations of artists in genres ranging from R&B to gospel. His hits have become standards in American music history, earning him induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2001.
