I just heard Burke's versions of The Judgement and Diamonds on your Mind (Tom Waits) and they are fabulous. The man has a terrific voice. I think The Judgement competes with Elvis's own version of it, that figures of course, since Elvis helped him record it.
I didn't really have a lot of money though, so I downloaded them of Kazaa.

Re: Solomon Burke
To pass on in the airport- on the road- doing what you love- sad news. This is how I will remember him.

Re: Solomon Burke
I recommend anyone reading this pick up the Buddy Miller produced 'Nashville'. A killer record, including a great Jim Lauderdale cover (Someday You're Gonna Take Me Back) and what might be the definitive studio version of Tom T Hall's 'That's How I Got To Memphis' (although I think Buddy doing that live acoustic is still the greatest thing since garlic bread).
