Released in 1965, this studio album shows Solomon Burke at his artistic peak. It was produced by Bert Berns, who also co-wrote several tracks, including the title song.
The album includes a mix of soul ballads and more upbeat rhythms. Highlights include the cover of 'Tonight's the Night', which became a minor hit on the R&B charts.
Although not a massive commercial success, 'I Wish I Knew' is considered by critics as one of Burke's most cohesive works of the 1960s, showcasing his vocal versatility.
