A preacher at the age of nine, Solomon Burke was a pioneer in Soul music. Mick Jagger covered three of Burke’s songs on early albums by the Rolling Stones. Ironically, it was a Country song, “Just out Of Reach (Of My Two Open Arms)” that was his first hit in 1961. He is probably best known for his Soul-flavored single, “Cry to Me.” The 45 on Atlantic Records can now fetch $20.00. His 1962 debut album, “Solomon Burke,” released on Apollo Records, is worth up to $400.00 today.
