Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Solomon Burke is having a good 21st Century. His 2006 album “Nashville” included duets with Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris and Patty Loveless.He can still draw a crowd in Europe, as demonstrated by this 2005 gospel concert in Amsterdam.
And Burke won a Grammy for his 2002 album “Don’t Give Up On Me.”
A popping tune off that CD – “None of Us Are Free,” written by Brenda Russell, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil – is available as a FREE MP3. Follow this link (and scroll down) to cop from Download.com.

The ending montage song of season 2 of The Wire is also performed by Solomon Burke if I'm not mistaken.
ReplyDeleteOh wait this is that song.
ReplyDeleteMy bad that was "Fast Train". Sorry for the multiple comments.
ReplyDeleteYou had me going there for a minute. This does sound like a "Wire"-type track, though.
ReplyDelete...and it was the end of season 3...
