The Solomon Burke Show.

It's not often that you see middle-aged Torontonians shaking their hips and kicking up their heels with reckless abandon, but there was no resisting Solomon Burke, the charismatic King Of Rock And Soul, as he urged his followers to clap, sing along and get up on stage with him to dance to Proud Mary -- and several dozen of them did just that.

It was the climax of a non-stop, two-hour extravaganza packed with R&B, soul and rock-'n'-roll hits, played by a magnificent eight-piece band and sung by the still surprisingly lithe and powerful voice of one of the great soul singers.

Awesome, awesome show.
