The Very Best of Solomon Burke
is an excellent 16-track collection that features his biggest hits from 1961-1968, including
"Just Out of Reach (Of My Two Open Arms),"
"Cry to Me,"
"Down in the Valley,"
"I'm Hanging Up My Heart for You,"
"If You Need Me,"
"You're Good for Me,"
"Goodbye Baby (Baby Goodbye),"
and
"Everybody Needs Somebody to Love."
All of his best-known songs in their hit versions are available on this concise, affordable disc, not always in strict release order but still an education in and of themselves -- the tracks all come from the first generation original single masters, many of which were remixed or even shunted aside in favor of re-recorded versions for his albums during the 1960s, including his greatest-hits and best-of collections. The producers spent the time to track down those long-unused and forgotten originals for this, their first authentic representation on CD. Additionally, the 16th song is a true diamond among the R&B treasures here -- the June 1968 single
"Soul Meeting"
cut by
the Soul Clan
, which consisted of
Burke
,
Arthur Conley
Don Covay
Ben E. King
, and
Joe Tex
, the super-session product of a short-lived experiment in raising money for the black community. This is the only appearance of this
-authored track on CD, and makes this release essential even for those who already own the 1992 double-CD set
