Burke, Solomon
Soul Alive!
Sealed 1984 2LP Original, CC. “For Pure Soul Testifying, No One Compares To Solomon Burke. He Earned His Title — "King Of Soul" — By Bringing The Gospel Fervor Of The Southern Preacher To His Performances, And No Recording Proves His Command Over An Audience Quite Like Soul Alive! Recorded In 1983 In Washington, D.C., The Set Proves Burke Had Lost Little From His '60s Heyday; He Works Through Nearly All Of His Hits, Spurring On The Concert-Goers As Though They Were The Ones Performing Instead Of Him — In Fact, Some Of The Women Are Heard Screaming So Often They Should've Been Credited. Burke Shines Most When Leading The Faithful Through "I Can't Stop Loving You," Pausing For A Lengthy Monologue Before Reprising The Song And Leading Into A Devastating Finish. Elsewhere He Works Through Deeply Felt Country-Blues-Gospel Fusions Like "I Almost Lost My Mind," "Take Me (Just As I Am)," "He'll Have To Go," And "Down In The Valley.” John Bush, All Music Guide.
