Last of The Soul Men

Solomon Burke was huge in every sense of the word. Father of over 21 kids according to the voice-over at the end of this track.

And now he's gone too. On the same day as Dame Joan Sutherland no less. But I'm a soul man rather than an opera fan, so while I can appreciate La Stupenda's reputation, it is the death of the last of the 60's male soul greats that leaves me with the greater sense of loss.
