Solomon Burke dies aged 70
Description
US soul singer Solomon Burke, a Grammy winner and member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, has died in Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport.
Burke, 70, died after arriving on a flight from Los Angeles.
Famed R&B producer Jerry Wexler called him "the best soul singer of all time," according to Burke's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame biography.
Born in Philadelphia, he was known for hits including "Cry to Me," "Just Out of Reach (Of My Two Open Arms)" and "Got to Get You Off My Mind."
Burke was also known for his showmanship, wearing regal robes for his "King of Rock 'n' Soul" persona, the Hall of Fame said.
His career was centered in the 1960s, but it had a revival with a Grammy award for the 2002 contemporary blues album "Don't Give Up On Me."
