Rated 6/10

I appreciated this for his great voice, the music history relevance, inventiveness and for the song "You're Good For Me"

But in the end all song are pretty much turning into a blur and after 3 listens, nothing really sticks, stands out or made really much impression

Rated 6/10

Great voice! Cry To Me is great, but then after that opener, the rest of the album is alright, just felt a little lacklustre, (with the exception of Can't Nobody Love You, that's a good 'un).

Rated 8/10

Iv never heard of Solomon Burke before but I have heard cry to me before from dirty dancing. I’m a fan of Sam Cooke and Otis Reading so was always going to enjoy this. A great soul album one I’ll add to my rotation.

Rated 8/10

Love his voice and the way he spans genres. I think it's hilarious when he name checks Sam Cooke and Ray Charles on "Can't nobody love you."

Rated 8/10

He has a great voice. It's interesting hearing this early bridge between R&B and Soul. Definitely a foundational record worthy of being included here.

Rated 8/10

souuuuuuuuuuuuuuuul

Rated 6/10

Nice voice!

Rated 4/10

This is basically an Elvis album. I can see how this is a bridge into R&B but I'm just bored
