If you’re not on the Burke bus yet, isn’t it time you hop on board and join the celebration? Tracks A1 I Wish I Knew (How It Would Feel to Be Free) 2:51 A2 Get Out of My Life Woman 3:20 A3 Meet Me in Church 3:33 A4 By the Time I Get to Phoenix 2:56 A5 Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye 3:03 B1 What’d I Say 4:46 B2 Since I Met You Baby 3:45 B3 Save It 2:23 B4 Shame on Me 3:31 B5 Why, Why, Why 2:24 Solomon’s last album for Atlantic Records, released in 1968, may not be as well known as his earlier material, but on its own it’s a superb collection of Southern-styled soul waxings. You can feel his vocal power in “Save It” and his power of persuasion in “Meet Me In Church.” I’m not going to say that his version of the monumental Ray Charles hit “What’d I Say” is the definitive version, but Solomon does unleash energy in the song that you never would have known was there. He can croon, swoop, whoop, wail and holler with absolutely anyone, and I Wish I Knew gives you a taste of it all.
