Solomon Burke - Legend:

Words like legend are thrown around too easily but it is the first word that comes to mind when thinking back to Solomon Burke's performance at the Jazz Cafe on Sunday the 25th July 2010.
Mr Burke was simply breathtaking from his arrival through the crowd in a wheel chair to his last song on the throne stage. His voice was dynamic and rich and his voice rich - His band were faultless and his beautiful daughter and grandaughter sang exquisitely.
I had the feeling that if Otis Redding, Wilsion Pickett and Arthur Connelly had still been with us they would have been in that crowd applauding wildly at the end of the show.
Soloman Burke like Gill Scot Heron who I saw recently at Somerset House, is a true legend and he is one that we still have with us - the more people who see his shows the better place the world will be.
As he said himself - 'Loving people is what I do'
...... and as a result of that Soloman, the peole love you right back .....

now everybody know that Solomon is an amazing singer, nothing new... but he can tell a story, he had the audience on the palm of his hand all the time and finally after all these years he has a stable band that knows his whims by heart. That's all he had to sort out. True legend

Well worth seeing. It may never happen again. He was wheeled in and wheeled out and he's not a spring chicken anymore, so I was very happy to see a legend singer, crowd pleaser, gentleman (love the rose - thank you) and all round consumate professional. If you have the chance to see him before he leaves the UK, then do. Otherwise fly to Portugal and catch him there. The fare would be well worth it.

Solomon is absolutely fantastic - a larger than life entertainer with so much soul in his voice he has the capacity to pull on anyone's heartstrings with his songs. Unmissable.

Otis Redding and Sam Cooke are long gone. We thought JB would last forever but he passed too. But there is one giant among soul music's pioneers who is still out there performing. Former Wonder Boy Preacher, now Bishop of his own church, Solomon Burke is a consumate American legend. His voice is unmistakable after 50 years. And it can still soar and roar at will. I was lucky to speak to him after the event and if you are reading this Solomon, it was a pleasure and an honour to be there.

Although now 70 years old, Solomon Burke's voice has lost none of it's power and subtelty.
Fronting a crack 12 piece band, he stormed through his Atlantic hits of the 60's, brought us into the last decade with tracks from "Don't Give Up On Me" and treated us to a couple of tracks from his recent Willie Mitchell produced album, 'Nothing's Impossible". A packed Jazz Cafe relished the opportunity to see one of the last great soul singers in intimate surroundings.
