SOLOMON BURKE "This Is It" (Apollo Label '55/'56)

Containing the first recordings by the Soul legend, Solomon may not have ever had a Top 20 hit, but he set the style for the emergence of Soul music in the early '60s. These recordings have been out of print for over 20 years and have never been available on CD. Solomon Burke began his musical life in the world of Gospel as a boy preacher in his home city of Philadelphia, featuring in his own 'Solomon's Temple' radio show.
