AMSTERDAM — Soul singer Solomon Burke, who wrote "Everybody Needs Somebody To Love" and recorded the hit "Cry To Me" used in the movie "Dirty Dancing," has died at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport. He was 70.Airport police spokesman Robert van Kapel confirmed the death of the "King of Rock and Soul" on Sunday, and referred further questions to his management.Dutch national broadcaster NOS said Burke died on a plane early Sunday after arriving on a flight from Los Angles. The cause of death was not immediately clear.Burke, who was both a Grammy winner and a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, had been due to perform at a well-known club in Amsterdam on Tuesday.A Philadelphia native highly acclaimed by music critics, fellow musicians, and many loyal fans, Burke never reached the same level of fame as soul performers like James Brown or Marvin Gaye.He wrote "Everybody Needs Somebody to Love" in 1964 and it was quickly recorded by the Rolling Stones and Wilson Pickett, and later and perhaps most famously by the Blues Brothers.Legendary Atlantic Records producer Jerry Wexler once called Burke, "the best soul singer of all time."Burke joined Atlantic in 1960 and went on to record a string of hits in a decade with the label.According to his website, Burke was born March 21, 1940, "to the sounds of horns and bass drums" at the United Praying Band The House of God for All People in West Philly."From day one, literally God and gospel were the driving forces behind the man and his music," his website said.Burke was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2001 and won a Grammy a year later.Those honors sparked a renewed interest in the singer and he toured extensively around the world in recent years.Burke and his band would play without set lists, instead performing whatever the audience wanted to hear."It's like turning back the hands of time instantly," he said on his website. "We can be in the middle of singing something from my recent 'Like A Fire' album, and they'll call out 'Stupidity' from 1957 and we're back 50 years!"Burke combined his singing with the role of preacher and patriarch of a huge family of 21 children, 90 grandchildren and 19 great grandchildren."Loving people," he said at a recent performance in London, "is what I do."Associated Press Writer Mike Corder in The Hague contributed to this report.Copyright © 2010 The Associated Press.

Rapper Eyedea died in his sleep at only 28Posted by Debbie Turner | Monday, 18 October | Filed under U.S.Rapper Eyedea died in his sleep at only 28After the death too soon of Dan Gordon-Levitt known as Burning Dan recently, there is more terribly sad new today as we hear that rap star Eyedea is dead at the age of only 28. The rapper, who recorded for Rhymesavers, appears to have died in his sleep with the cause as yet unknown.The star, famous to hip-hop fans across the world, whose real name was Micheal Larsen died unexpectedly at his home in St. Paul at the weekend. He was found dead on Saturday and his mother, Kathy Averill, said, “He was doing great and had a lot of things going on in his life,” according to Chris Riemenschneider on StarTribune.com. She is waiting for autopsy results to establish the cause of her son’s death.Larsen made numerous albums and last year brought out Eyedea & Abilities, “By the Throat.” His mother also said that he had recently written a poetry book and just completed another album, “Face Candy.” The Rhymesavers Crew are in shock as it appears the last time Larsen was seen was on Friday night when he was said to be in “good spirits.”There are plans for a fundraiser in Eyedea’s memory on November 9, what would have been his birthday, and a memorial is also planned for later this month. For more on this go to startribune.com. Our thoughts are with Micheal Larsen’s family and friends at this sad time. If you wish to leave your tributes for him then please do so by sending

RIPReggae star Gregory Isaacs dies LONDON — Jamaican reggae star Gregory Isaacs, best known for the 1982 song "Night Nurse", has died at his London home, aged 59, his wife said Monday..... The "Cool Ruler" has died. Reggae great Gregory Isaacs, who earned that chilled-out honorific thanks to his natty dress and emphasis on romantic, yearning tunes, died at the age of 59 at his home in London following a yearlong battle with lung cancer, according to BBC News. Isaacs, best known for his bubbling 1982 hit "Night Nurse," gained his nickname as a result of his 1978 album, Cool Ruler, on which he perfected the reggae style known as "lover's rock," a swaying, bouncy sound that mixed the insistent thrum and downbeat of the Jamaican islands with a 1950s R&B crooner-style vocal. "Gregory was well-loved by everyone, his fans and his family, and he worked really hard to make sure he delivered the music they loved and enjoyed," his wife Linda said in a statement. Though his recorded persona was that of a sensitive, often heartbroken man, a Los Angeles Times obituary noted that Isaacs was blocked from taking up the mantle of the late Bob Marley as the next international reggae star as a result of his outlaw "rude boy" persona, which resulted in dozens of arrests over the years on drug and gun charges, as well as a serious cocaine addiction. Isaacs, born in Kingston, Jamaica, on July 15, 1951, loved listening to American R&B singers such as Sam Cooke and Smokey Robinson on the radio as a child and began making a name for himself as a teenager in the 1960s, performing at talent contests and with other vocalists before going solo in 1970. After a string of self-released albums and singles on his own African Museum label, he finally hit pay dirt with 1973's "My Only Lover," widely considered the first lover's rock tune. Like so many of his hits, it showcased his sensual, smooth tenor and kicked off a decade-plus run of chart-toppers that peaked in 1982 with the seductive "Night Nurse," recorded at Marley's Tuff Gong studios. In addition to his entrancing high and longing vocals, Isaacs used urgent moans and groans as the signature punctuation on some of his most beloved songs. In keeping with his outlaw image, Isaacs was unable to celebrate the hit because he was serving a six-month prison sentence in Jamaica for unlicensed handgun possession. "I'd say he's one of the three geniuses I've known in the reggae music business, and I've known everyone," said Gary Himelfarb, who released several Isaacs albums on his label, RAS Records, in the 1990s. "Gregory was the kind of person who could walk through a room of 20 people and come out the other side and tell you what everybody was wearing," added Himelfarb, known professionally as Dr. Dread. "He could sit at a piano and compose incredible tunes. He was really brilliant. He was on a whole other level than your typical Jamaican artist." While the combination of his legal troubles and the ravages of drugs on his subtle voice contributed to his unreliability, Isaacs nonetheless became an inspiration to a new generation of reggae stars through his combination of lover's rock and more politically charged tunes, such as "Black Liberation Struggle." Son and fellow reggae singer Kevin Isaacs, who appeared on the joint 2000 album Father and Son, tweeted a tribute to his dad Sunday night, writing, "R.I.P Dad, you're a great father to me and my Idol. That's all I can say for now, I'm hurt. My dad just died. Give thanks to all his supporters." Though he was said to have recorded 500 albums in his career, the Times said Isaacs put the number at closer to 200. His final album was 2008's Brand New Me for the African Museum label.
