    This record was on the juke box of my local pub in 1968-69. I was 18 at the time and all the regulars were around the same age- up to their early 20s. Nobody over 25 ever went in the pub, yet this song was played constantly. When you consider the great music that was around at the time, this is testament to how truly great this song was.

    +Dean Levy I met your father back in 1978-79. He was friends with My uncle. He came to our house. What a voice. He did a small concert in our town and raised thousands for a local charity. He had one of the greatest voices I ever heard. We had some of his LP's. Ive tried to get any film footage or released CD's of your father but there are non available. I was very young at the time. I remember him telling us he did backing vocals for Elvis and Billie Holiday! He sang My Yiddeshe Mama in both English and Hebrew in our living room. There wasn't a dry eye in the house. RIP Solomon.

Personally, I am a die-hard Jim Reeves fan, but I believe Jim would have taken his hat off to Solomon King had he lived long enough to hear him.

    I'm very pleased to congratulate you on your Father's WONDERFUL voice, when I was 22 and living in London I used to go to a cafe which had a juke box and "she wears my ring" was on it which I played for ever and ever until I left the place and every day for two years! I often wonder if the people in there ever got sick of it and was probably relieved when I eventually went home for good!! If I hear it now it takes me right back to that cafe and 1968. GLORIOUS VOICE.

He was a backing singer for both Billie Holiday and Elvis presley. A fantastic singer, sadly missed
