With his big, powerful voice and fervent but controlled emotionality, Solomon Burke was one of the early pioneers of soul music, though his contributions were not fully recognized until the new millennium, when he belatedly won his first Grammy. By the age of nine, Solomon Burke (b. March 21, 1940, Philadelphia, PA) was a preacher and choir soloist at his family's Philadelphia church, the House of God for All People. At twelve he began hosting his own gospel radio show, "Solomon's Temple", and touring the gospel circuits billed as the "Wonder Boy Preacher". In 1955 he began recording both religious and secular music for Apollo and Singular before signing with Atlantic Records in 1960. At Atlantic Burke made some of the first soul records by setting his gospel 'preaching' style in song forms borrowed from R&B, rock & roll and other secular music styles. He was a major influence on Mick Jagger, who covered Burke-related songs "You Can Make It If You Try", "Everybody Needs Somebody To Love", "If You Need Me" and "Cry To Me" on early Rolling Stones albums. Otis Redding also covered Burke's R&B variation on the traditional folk ballad "Down In the Valley".

Mit seiner großen, kraftvollen Stimme und seiner glühenden, aber kontrollierten Emotionalität war Solomon Burke einer der frühen Pioniere der Soulmusik, obwohl seine Verdienste erst im neuen Jahrtausend voll anerkannt wurden, als er nachträglich seinen ersten Grammy gewann. Im Alter von neun Jahren war Solomon Burke (geb. 21. März 1940, Philadelphia, PA) Prediger und Chorsolist in der Philadelphia Kirche seiner Familie, der House of God for All People. Mit zwölf Jahren moderierte er seine eigene Gospel-Radiosendung "Solomon's Temple" und tourte als "Wonder Boy Preacher" durch die Gospelkreise. 1955 begann er, sowohl religiöse als auch weltliche Musik für die Labels Apollo und Singular aufzunehmen, bevor er 1960 bei Atlantic Records unterschrieb. Bei Atlantic machte Burke einige der ersten Soul-Platten, indem er seinen 'Gospelpredigt'- Stil aufnahm in Songs, die von R&B, Rock & Roll und anderen weltlichen Musikstilen beeinflusst wurden. Er war ein großer Einfluss auf Mick Jagger, der Burke-Songs wie "You Can Make It If You Try", "Everybody Needs Somebody To Love", "If You Need Me" und "Cry To Me" auf frühen Rolling Stones-Alben aufnahm. Otis Redding coverte auch Burkes R&B-Variante der traditionellen Folkballade "Down In the Valley".
