Early this morning, Sunday, October 10, 2010, the legendary King of Rock & Soul, Solomon Burke, our father, passed away due to natural causes. Solomon had just arrived at Schiphol Airport in Amsterdam, the Netherlands for a sold out show at Paradiso with Dutch band, De Dijk. He was on his way to spread his message of love as he loved to do. This is a time of great sorrow for our entire family. We truly appreciate all of the support and well wishes from his friends and fans. Although our hearts and lives will never be the same, his love, life and music will continue to live within us forever. As our family grieves during this time of mourning, thank you for respecting our privacy. Family of Solomon Burke |

A message from Jessie who's a friend of the daughter of Dick Griffey: I am bearing some sad news. Dick Griffey father of my friend Carolyn Griffey has passed away this morning. He was the CEO of Solar Records (Sound Of Los Angeles Records), manager and producer who brought us Shalamar, The Whispers, Lakeside, Dynasty, Midnight Starr etc. It would be nice if you give him a mention on your radio shows and play some of the songs from the groups he created on the Solar Record Label.Those of you with publications lets write up and remember that he was to the disco funk era, to what Berry Gordy was to cross over soul. He was a music pioner who should be remembered on this day.
