"Well my heavy throbbers itchin' just to lay a solid rhythm down"

Bummer, the Legend is no more

RIP

RIP!! I just read a great interview with him. His music was still vital. We have lost a true great

now I'm listening to his 2010 album Nothing's Impossible - I just got it - 4rd song going on strong now - beautiful, wonderful music.

"what can be sadder than a glass of wine alone", maaaan...

another one too soon gone. I don't care he was 70, he was still going so well, so kicking... @#$%& @#$%& @#$%&.

Try a little tenderness

"As we say in England, it can get a bit trainspottery"

a great loss, he was one of my favorites.

So the King of Rock and Soul is dead.


I'm sorry for him, and perhaps even more sorry to see another artist that I loved suddenly gone.

An entire musical world is, one by one, fading away.

and perhaps even more sorry to see another artist that I loved suddenly gone

That the problem if you getting older and older, I remember my parents complaining that a lot of people around them died famous or not famous.

Rest in peace,
great great music.
chose one of his songs for our wedding dance number " Millionaire ".
one of the best there ever was.
very sad.

A gross loss indeed - but why rest in peace? There is no heaven and a dead man won't find anything. No, just live forever, Solomon, on my turntable, in my CD player and on my hard disk. Sure one of the finest soul voices in the 1960s, accidentally two weeks ago I enjoyed listening to Burkes albums "A change is gonna come" and "Love trap" from 1986 and 1987. Thank you for the music!

> There is no heaven and a dead man won't find anything.

thank you for this wisdom, religious trolling on such occasion is terribly stupid.

What a beautiful voice.

Here are two songs he recorded last year with Dutch band 'De Dijk'. They are translations into English from their originals in Dutch:










The album is called [www.holdontight.nl].

"Too soon gone". RIP Solomon.

My lovely bride and I were lucky enough to see him at New Orleans Jazzfest either last year or the year before closing a second Thursday afternoon at the Congo Square stage. What a marvelous set! I'll never forget it, that voice. Even in a wheelchair, he commanded AUTHORITY!

At least he went out on the way to a gig, a soul singer with total command right to the end! And he had a GREAT second act in the years before his departure.

All hail the King of Rock 'n' Soul! Mourn his passing, celebrate his work.

"When your baby leaves you all alone.... And I need you, you, you!"

SOLOMON BURKE & DE DIJK
a home coming celebration
dinsdag 12 oktober 2010

Verbijsterend, ongelooflijk, maar waar.
Zondagmorgen is Solomon Burke een natuurlijke dood gestorven toen hij, in bijzijn van zijn dochter Candy en een vertegenwoordigster van het management, het vliegtuig op Schiphol verliet. In afwachting van de formele afhandeling en te volgen procedures, is het aannemelijk dat het stoffelijk overschot nog deze week naar Amerika wordt overgebracht.

Solomon Burke zou dinsdag a.s. met De Dijk een uitverkocht concert geven in Paradiso ter gelegenheid van het recentelijk verschenen succesvolle album, dat zij samen opnamen.

'Geen show' bestaat niet in de ideeënwereld van Solomon Burke.
Daarom krijgt het Paradiso-concert een andere invulling. In overleg met de familie Burke, De Dijk en Paradiso in de geest en naar de wens van Solomon, dient dit aangepaste concert van De Dijk gezien te worden als een celebration, een zogenaamde home coming (en geen tribute).

Uiteraard bestaat er de mogelijkheid om tot en met dinsdag gekochte kaarten terug te brengen op het adres waar ze gekocht zijn.

Deur open: 19.00 uur
Aanvang concert: 20.30 uur
