He did well to get to 70 with all that weight.

Bad news. RIP Solomon.

[John L]

RIP. I actually thought that he was at least 10 years older than that.

Solomon Burke was one of America's greatest singers and performers.

A truly majestic performer!

Dying at an airport, what a sad way to go

He deserved to die at home with family members at his side!

Newsstories say he is survived by 21 children, 90 grandchildren and 19 great-grandchildren!

[Alexander]

One of the best of all time. RIP.

Nice that he had a comeback in recent years and did some truly remarkable work to put a cap on an already stellar career...

once again, as i was saying all last month, screw bumbershoot for doublebooking Bob Dylan and Solomon Burke at the exact same time for the Fri. night festival: if anyone who appriciates music was working there they would have noticed that that booking was a problem. RIP

R.I.P to a fantastic soul artist. Good to know that he received some deserved recognition in recent years, and got the chance to release some great new albums too.

Amazing version of "none of us are free" - a MUST listen!!!!!
