“An extremely influential pioneer of classic, Gospel-rooted soul music with nearly two dozen chart hits for Atlantic Records between 1961 and 1969, the King of Rock ‘n’ Soul was born in a Philadelphia church loft on March 21, 1940, and...was a choir soloist—which, with his powerful voice and charismatic personality, quickly led to his own radio program, Solomon’s Temple, and frequent stage appearances billed as The Wonder Boy Preacher” (Gary von Tersch, Sing Out!, Nov. 2010).
