Description:
Radio Mirror (later known as Radio and Television Mirror) was a fan magazine for radio listeners and later TV viewers that includes profiles of the stars, visits to radio and television studios, and program listings. The early years in the 1930s show the interaction of motion pictures, recordings, the stage, radio and even politics. The role of radio in World War II is well covered in the 1940s, and by the 1950s the focus shifts to television and a new generation of personalities. -- David Pierce, 2013

Solomon Burke is no exception. He has both talent and heart. Being young, he is unassuming. He likes to sing and he likes you to enjoy it. Solomon is an easy person to meet because he is lacking in the phony devices some performers use. His nature is much like his face : open, warm and engaging. His performing is of the same general character. Originally from Philadelphia, Solomon started his singing in church. He was soloist at age nine. Later, at the tender age of twelve, he was known as the "Wonder Boy Preacher." At this point, he had his own church, "Solomon's Temple." He broadcast a show from the church and thus came to the attention of a great many people, some of whom saw in Solomon the makings of a great singing career. He was signed by Apollo Records — who, I'm sure, were not surprised when his first recorded effort, "Christmas Presents from Heaven," was a hit. Since then, he's made an upward climb to success. Later, during 1960, he was signed by Atlantic Records, for whom he has become a mainstay record-seller. This writer had the pleasure of playing on a recent Solomon Burke (Continued on page 24) 17
