Solomon Burke - Don't Give up on Me



Lovely bit of Sunday soul. Solomon burke is a giant of soul music in every sense. Though he's never receied the acclaim of his contemparies he's written a number of stone cold classics and in recent years undergone something of a renannsancie. This song, and the album of the same name, kicked that off and it's a cracker. He pours a lifetime of regrets into his vocal performance and it's absolutely superb. Plus it's hard to resist any man who performs on a throne.
