1962
CRY TO ME * SOLOMON BURKE * LONDON ATLANTIC 9512 * UK
King Solomon as he was known during the 1960s successfully mixed a Country flavor in his Soul, although in 1954 his first song, which he wrote as a Christmas present for his grandmother, came to him, in his own words, "as part of a prediction". His first recording session was in December the following year from which his debut record When I'm Alone, for the New York Apollo label, came.
