King Solomon was Solomon Burke's first album for Atlantic Records after his initial success. Recorded in New York in 1966, the album was produced by Bert Berns, who aimed for a polished soul sound.
The album includes covers of R&B classics and original songs, highlighting Burke's deep vocal style. Although not a major chart success, it solidified his reputation as a versatile performer.
The cover shows Burke wearing a crown, reflecting his nickname "King of Rock and Soul." The album has not been officially reissued on CD, but some tracks appear on later compilations.
