everyone should listen to at least one of his songs today as a tribute.

Rest in Peace Solomon.

But to die on the way to a gig - what a great way to go.

I heard about it on the radio yesterday. Another great has left us. RIP, Mr. Burke.

RIP

A lot of the blues guys are getting up there as well. Same for Motown originals. Some from the 50's are still around. See them while you can.

Very sad indeed. My buddy Keith was on tour with Solomon the last couple of years, on keyboards. I know he really enjoyed playing in that band. The loss of a true music legend. RIP Solomon.
