Solomon Burke —
Home In Your Heart – Best Of Solomon Burke ... CD Atlantic/Rhino, Early 60s. Used 2 CDs ... $3.99

Wildheart (deluxe version) ... CD Bystorm/RCA, 2015. Used ... $4.99
Heady soul from Miguel – a new artist with a great warm sound in his music!

Plantation Lullabies ... CD Maverick, 1993. Used ... $4.99
This record, as we're sure you know, is a spunky bit of hip hop-inflected R&B, with the kind of sinister groove that got Me'Shell noticed immediately after the record was released.
