    AMSTERDAM – Soul singer Solomon Burke has died at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport. He was 70.
    Airport police spokesman Robert van Kapel confirmed the death of the singer Sunday, and referred further questions to the performer's management.
    Burke, who wrote the hit "Everybody Needs Somebody to Love" among many others, was both a Grammy winner and a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He had been due to perform at a well-known club in Amsterdam on Tuesday.

    He was truly great.

    Yes, Bo, he definitely was! "Cry To Me" & "Beautiful Brown Eyes" are my two of my favorite songs of his. I wonder what happened?
