A. Mel Tormé - Comin' Home Baby
B. Solomon Burke - Cry To Me
MEL TORMÉ, was born Melvin Howard Tormé in 1925. Known as “the Velvet Fog” he was the son of Russian immigrant parents who settled in Chicago. He aspired to be Frank Sinatra and could have been too! His 1962 vocalisation of “Comin’ Home Baby” earned him a Top 40 hit on both sides of the Atlantic and a permanent slot in any discerning R&B and Northern Soul playlist.
SOLOMON BURKE, preacher/singer was born in
Philadelphia in 1936 and is regarded as the de facto Southern Soul
singer who bridged the gap between R&B and Soul. He recorded “Cry To
Me” in December 1961 and scored his second chart hit. The Bert Bernes
song truly heralded the dawn of the soul era and it has been covered
many times most notably by the Rolling Stones and Betty Harris.
