...King of Rock, Soul and Restraint UNMISSABLE In 2001 Solomon Burke was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by Mary J. Blige. Imagine Al Pacino receiving an Oscar from Juliette Lewis, and you have some idea of the moment's hoo-ah! scenery-chewing potential. Burke, known to the soul-music cult as the King of Rock and Soul, once held every note as if it were his last, and on his mid-career albums you might have believed it to be yours too.

It sounded glamorous and slightly sinful to my 10-year-old ears. When I walked over to my friends' houses in the evenings, they all had the same smell.
