Rock Lyrics & Titles

This 3-CD SoulMusic Records’ set celebrates the recordings that Solomon Burke made for the legendary Atlantic Records label between 1960 and 1968. Solomon is generally acknowledged as one of the greatest soul singers to emerge during the genre’s golden days. He signed to Atlantic before ‘soul music’ became a bona fide sub-genre of African-American music and it was Solomon who helped define this new movement and he was, in fact, one of the first artists to use ‘soul’ to describe his music. He would eventually be known the world over as ‘The King of Rock and Soul’.

Awesome Mexican jazz-rock. Take, if you will, the brass-infused sound that characterized bands like Chicago and Blood, Sweat & Tears. Then, remove defining elements like Terry Kath and classical pretenses…

“Rhythm & Blues Goes Rock & Roll volumes one to five from Atomicat Records looks at Caucasian cover-rockers from America and Australia. The musicians are from differing music backgrounds and covered R&B songs in their own style. The music within My Baby Left Me is sourced from the golden years of 1955 through to 1963, from labels large and small. Every album contains twenty-eight songs, and each album ends like Rock ‘n’ Roll evenings of the past, with a love song. The album is stuffed full of cover-rockers, with numerous artists being mostly unknown, but not lacking in star quality. The albums are perfect for collectors who wish to own a more diverse range of songs, and those who enjoy dancing.”
