Solomon Burke - Everybody Needs Somebody To Love

The original Blues Brother

[edwinhall]

I saw Solomon when I was 15 in Greenville, SC at an integrated rock and roll

[Foxys]

Does not matter if I’m low, middling or high. This song always lifts me! ❤

The Blue Brother is one of my top 2 movies, but I've never heard the original song. What a treat!

Gemini, thank you for this, brother!

Solomon Burke took Rhythm and Blues to Church one day in 1962 and out came "Everybody Needs Somebody To Love" one of the greatest Soul records ever made.  Lest we forget,  he was not called the "Wonder Boy Preacher" for nothing.  He uses it to heart wrenching perfection to "Save the whole world."  And he does, trust me.

I had the privelige of seeing Solomon, live at the Flamingo Club In Soho London 1965.

Once again the original is still the greatest and it's got the most soul.

The Rolling Stones' very fine cover of this song led me to Solomon Burke in early 1965. Forever grateful.

[Xenonuke]

Hearing these songs reminds me of my late Father he used to play songs like this RIP dad and thanks for introducing me to awesome music

[GroceryGrimm]

Always come back to this one....eventually. Arguably the most underrated singer of all-time. RIP

[alanmorris]

Rest in peace, King Solomon. We will never forget you or your music!

[JulioRomero-jkgg]

What a hell of an original. Never heard it before.!!!

[hubertashcraft]

The soul music of the 1960's was the best.

[Savvynlady]

I remember when The Blues Brother sung this song; that is the first time I heard it; but when I came across this song in England around 1997, the other version was kicked to the serious curb. RIP Solomon Burke.

RIP Solomon Burke
-You were and will always be legendary.

[MrLoomboy]

This is an alltime classic, light, easy, but very intense, genius!
Rest in Peace dear Solomon, God, I am certain, is asking you to sing this song over and over

Elwood: We're so glad to see so many of you lovely people here tonight. And we would especially like to welcome all the representatives of Illinois's law enforcement community that have chosen to join us here in the Palace Hotel Ballroom at this time. We certainly hope you all enjoy the show. And remember, people, that no matter who you are and what you do to live, thrive and survive, there're still some things that makes us all the same. You, me....them. Everybody...Everybody!

This is REAL soul music! I can't listen to this track without imagining an old-time revivalist preacher whipping up his congregation, because, after all, soul music had its origins in gospel music.
