Definition of Soul

EW's GRADE
B

Details Lead Performance: Solomon Burke; Genre: R&B

Four decades after his heyday, soul legend Solomon Burke's pipes still pack a punch. If the retro production and material are a bit too grounded in a '70s groove, Burke's from-the-gut vocals keep this comeback project on its feet. ''Everybody's Got a Game,'' a duet with Little Richard, is a righteous delight on Definition of Soul.
