I was 18 years old when i saw on the billboard "PRINCE SOLOMON BURKE" in an "All Soul" R & R show down in Jacksonville Florida....I had Never heard of an all "SOUL" show and had no idea what to expect?.....But I tell you this my friends it was a show and experience I will Never forget...."Incredible" and a fine "educational" experience....some others present, "James Brown & his Fabulous "Flames", "Little Eva", "Dee Dee Sharp" etc..............friendfromyesteryear....
I can remember Chuck Willis singing What Am I Living For", "I Don't Want To Hang Up My Rock And Roll Shoes", AND C. C. Rider In Late 50's. Too bad Chuck passed away so young. Chuck Willis, Solomon Burke and Percy Sledge were definitely in a class by themselves. THANK you for a GREAT post.
SWEET! You just 'felt' it. That what separates the big dogs from the little pups on the porch. #Props (There's a reason why ELVIS was inspired and drawn to CERTAIN performers. Greatness attracts greatness.) PEACE!
These performers welcomed Elvis. He had a lot of friends and admirers in the Soul circuit. Elvis in turn, praised them often and said they inspired him. It’s so refreshing to hear they respected and acknowledged each other.
He really had soul oh yeah oh yeh.... ...knownone to match him...timeless music.lve love music ..thank you.and what a sax player ....pure blues ..👍👍👍👍👍👍🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹😘😘😘😘😘😘
Yes what am i living for if not for you those was the days for real what am i living for you always be the love of my life til the never stop loving you
What I'm I living for Lord if it's not for you, life without God is death both physically and spiritually, and lost eternally He is life now and throughout eternity. I love my Lord and savior Jesus Christ. he is the reason that I have life, and hope in the future.
Sorry to bust your bubble but the late great Chuck Willis wrote this song and recorded it on Solomon's label ATLANTIC. He also wrote CC RIDER CHUCK WILLIS

Chuck Willis was too young when he passed. It was a stomach ailment. Very sad.
Wow. Vince Suzuki on tenor sax is killing it.
His Berg was barely on the cork

***************** Krásný song Děkuji.
How about that?that soul!
Chuck Willis surely did a fine job on What am I living for..... Still love both rendition.
I wish this version was on iTunes!
Happy birthday Mr.Burke
I'm so sorry I missed him in Maribor.
adoraria se fosse possível traduzir em português seria lindo demais
@TimothySideburns yep, no one knows for sure who wrote it, but we know Ma Rainey recorded it three or four years before Chuck was born
Greatest ever
Vince blowing that instrument
Sorry to bust your bubble but the late great Chuck Willis wrote this song and recorded it on Solomon's label ATLANTIC. He also wrote CC RIDER

What Am I Living For Songtext Übersetzung
Für was lebe ich, wenn nicht für Dich?
Für was lebe ich, wenn nicht für Dich?
Für was lebe ich, wenn nicht für Dich?
Oh Baby, niemand sonst würde das tun.
Nach was sehne ich mich in einer einsamen Nacht,
wenn ich Deine Lippen auf meinen fühle
und ich Dich ganz festhalte.
Du wirst mein ganzes Leben hindurch
mein kleines Mädchen bleiben.
Baby, niemand sonst würde das tun.
Ich will Dich ganz nah bei mir haben
Das ist alles was ich weiß.
Ich will Dich die ganze Zeit,
weil ich Dich so liebe, Darling.
Für was lebe ich, wenn nicht für Dich?
Für was lebe ich, wenn nicht für Dich?
Für was lebe ich, wenn nicht für Dich?
Oh Baby, niemand sonst würde das tun.
Vince can wail.
You're not bursting any bubbles. C. C. Rider was not written by Chuck Willis, though. It's a traditional.
Percy is still here..
@THEMOJOMANsince1959 Well, Chuck had the big hit early but actually Fred Jay and Art Harris wrote the song.
2024
Eddie Murphy on dem bongos .. this my shit
Lol
🥰🥰🥰
Dig the Sax.
Love Solomon...Where can i buy this CD
@TimothySideburns where can I purchase this video?
look at "Chuck Willis" at wikipedia
Mick Jagger so copied Solomon's style of singing.
