That's too bad. I'm glad he lived long enough to get some genuine recognition in the new millennium.

No disrespect, but when I saw the photos of Mr. Burke that RS ran earlier this year, I got the feeling it only was a matter of time.

Delv, The same thing ran through my mind, but then again, based on my own interview of BB King in 2005 I had the same thoughts running through my mind. And yet here we are 5 years later.

Solomon Burke was one of my favorites, definitely in my top 10. A good place to start, for those interested, is his Soul Alive! album. It's a raucous, rocking, mixture of church and soulful house party.

> he left behind 21 kids & 109 grand/great grandchildren

From his obit:

He once said his favorite line from the Bible was "Be fruitful and multiply."

"I got stuck on that verse," he said.

Last feature I read on B.B. King said he has 15 children. No comment on succeeding generations.

Well played, Delv! A big laugh on that one. . .
