"A larger-than-life rhythm & blues singer, Solomon Burke was one of the mainstays of Atlantic Records' "soul clan" of the Sixties. He was proclaimed the "King of Rock and Soul" in 1964 and has also been anointed "the Bishop of Soul." No less an authority than Jerry Wexler, the legendary Atlantic Records producer, has proclaimed, "The best soul singer of all time is Solomon Burke." Burke was a consummate showman who adopted the role of "King of Rock 'n' Soul" onstage by adorning himself in a regal robe of velvet and ermine. One of the greatest vocalists of the soul era, Burke has been credited for helping to keep Atlantic Records solvent from 1961 to 1964 with his steady run of hit records." (R&R Hall Of Fame) He also was inducted into the rock hall of fame in 2001 and won a grammy for his "Don't Give Up On Me" 2001. This eight track compilation draws from the Bishop's extensive repertoire of hits.
