"The King Of Rock 'N' Soul shows Solomon Burke at the very peak of his powers. His backing band on these records was often stuffed with legends like saxophonist King Curtis and Bobby Womack, ensuring a vivid landscape for his soulful and perfectly judged vocal performances. The songs he was furnished with were first-rate, plus he himself was no mean tunesmith too. This is a great selection from one of soul music's key architects, full of heavy-duty charisma, pure talent and dynamism. Just simply wonderful listening that had me itching for the dancefloor too".

"As important a black voice as anyone else who plied their trade at Atlantic, or indeed Stax and Motown, Burke's grit and guts on R&B hits like Everybody Needs Somebody To Love or If You Need Me make them soul shouter set texts. Delve a little deeper into his catalogue, though, and you'll find chart entries with their roots in Nashville; impassioned takes on Jim Reeves' He'll Have To Go and Bobby Bare's Detroit City, both featured among the 78 tracks on this set ... an extraordinary catalogue of music one can confidently describe as majestic".
