Taylor Hicks tags Solomon Burke’s “Cry to Me”
On October 10, 2010, we lost the great Solomon Burke, known as the King of Rock and Soul. In 1962, Burke released the song “Cry to Me” -”an ode to loneliness and desire.”
Sunday night, Mick Jagger is scheduled to honor Solomon Burke at the Grammy Awards. Playing with Jagger will be Raphael Saadiq and Josh Smith. Josh Smith was Taylor Hicks’s guitarist for several tours. Taylor fans are ecstatic for Josh!
Taylor honored Solomon Burke at a November 2010 concert at EPCOT in Orlando, FL. During his original song, “Hold On To Your Love,” Taylor sang a few bars of “Cry To Me” with his own stylings. Thanks to Lh1100 for this terrific video.
