Solomon Burke & Emmylou Harris live at Nashville's Belcourt Theatre on September 25th 2006.

Solomon Burke (March 21, 1940 -- October 10, 2010) was an American singer-songwriter, entrepreneur, mortician, and an archbishop of the United House of Prayer For All People. Burke was known as "King Solomon", the "King of Rock 'n' Soul", and as the "Bishop of Soul", and described as "the Muhammad Ali of soul", and as "the most unfairly overlooked singer of soul's golden age".

During the 55 years that he performed professionally, Burke released 38 studio albums on more than 17 record labels and had 35 songs that charted, including 26 songs that made the Billboard R&B charts, including "Got to Get You Off My Mind" that was #1 in the summer of the 1965, and an additional 9 songs that were only listed on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

By 2005 Burke was credited with selling 17 million albums. Rolling Stone ranked Burke as #89 on its 2008 list of "100 Greatest Singers of All Time".

On Sunday October 10, 2010, Burke died at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport while on a plane from Los Angeles that had just landed. He had been due to perform with De Dijk in Amsterdam on October 12.

This is (not) us. Just doesn't sync as with Knopfler, but that was perfection.

Beautiful song and two outstanding vocalists, even if Emmylou was in a bit of an awkward key to accommodate Solomons vocals, she's a pro tho' and nailed it !

A great song despite the over - long,sentimental, soapy American style intro by Solomon. Has to be said though that SB`s fantastic, powerful voice dominates so much that it makes EH sound somewhat weedy.
