| “The first time I heard Solomon Burke sing ‘Proud Mary’ I was plain amazed. 2000 miles away this man crawled right up inside my head to learn what Proud Mary’ was all about. Sure it’s great when someone sings your song – but when he understands it, you listen like it was the first time.” John Fogerty |

Solomon sings up a storm…

I’ve found myself coming back very often to a great performance of ‘Cry to Me’ by legendary soul singer Solomon Burke. The original Atlantic recording was made in 1961 and was a top five hit in 1962. The performance I’m highlighting today is from several years ago on the Jools Holland show. Jools and his Rythm and Blue Orchestra provide expert backing and Solomon sings up a storm.
