Soul & Blues great Solomon Burke died back in October. I did a search, and found nothing so, I figured I'd start a thread.:redface:

I had never heard of this man until I watched 'Lightning In A Bottle' several years ago. I was blown away by his voice.

I refuse to argue with idiots, because people can't tell the DIFFERENCE!

    I saw him live at a club back in the mid 70's. Great performer. RIP.
