 Notes  
     While Solomon Burke never made a major impact upon the pop audience
     - he never, in fact, had a Top 20 hit - he was an important early
     soul pioneer. On his 60's singles for Atlantic, he brought a country
     influence into R&B, with emotional phrasing and intricately
     constructed, melodic ballads and midtempo songs. At the same time,
     he was surrounded with sophisticated uptown arrangements and was
     provided with much of his material by his producers, particularly
     Bert Berns.
     The combination of gospel, pop, country, and production polish was
     basic to the recipe of early soul. While Burke wasn't the only one
     pursuing this path, not many others did so as successfully. And he,
     like Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett, was an important influence
     upon the Rolling Stones, who covered Burke's "Cry to Me" and
     "Everybody Needs Somebody to Love" on their early albums.
     It's all but impossible to make a bad record with Burke; as a
     vocalist, the man is simply a force of nature, and all you have to
     do is point him in front of a microphone and let him do his stuff
     and you'll have something worth hearing. But coming up with
     accompaniment that's worthy of Burke's talents isn't quite as
     simple, and for a man who cut his teeth working with the likes of
     Jerry Wexler and Bert Berns, finding the right producer in this day
     and age is no simple matter.
     "Nothing's Impossible" teams Burke with another legend of Southern
     soul, the great producer, arranger, and songwriter Willie Mitchell
     (best-known for his work with Al Green) who had been after Burke to
     make an album with him for years. One listen to Nothing's Impossible
     confirms that Mitchell's instincts were right on the money; this
     music has just the right heft and texture for Burke, rich, strong,
     and gospel-influenced R&B that's sturdy enough to support Burke's
     earth-shaking vocals while giving the star of the show enough room
     to move comfortably.
     Mitchell's subtle, expressive use of strings and horns is very much
     in evidence here, and the rhythm section cuts a deep, implacable
     groove. The church has always been one of Burke's strongest vocal
     influences, and on Nothing's Impossible, Mitchell and his studio
     crew allow Burke to raise up as much Sunday morning fervor as he
     needs; on longer numbers like "Dreams" and "It Must Be Love," Burke
     stretches out like a preacher hitting a groove in front of a
     congregation, and hearing the King of Rock and Soul get the spirit
     is a remarkable thing.
     Burke and Mitchell contributed to the songwriting on these sessions,
     with both men bringing their A game, and though the notion of Burke
     covering Anne Murray's hit "You Needed Me" might sound dire, once
     you hear him do it, it's hard not to be awestruck at the way he
     brings the old warhorse to life. The sad irony of Nothing's
     Impossible is that after decades of trying to lure Solomon Burke
     into his studio, Burke showed up in time for what proved to be
     Willie Mitchell's final production project, as Mitchell succumbed to
     heart failure a few months before the album was released.
     But if this record is Willie Mitchell's final musical offering,
     Solomon Burke made certain that the man closed out his career on a
     high note; this is old-school R&B that's smart, passionate, and
     powerful, and proves the King of Rock and Soul still rules his
     kingdom with a sure hand.
