Rock 'N Soul is a 1964 studio album by Grammy Award winning musician Solomon Burke.

"[6] He was also uncomfortable being associated with rhythm and blues, which he believed had "a stigma of profanity", because of his clean lifestyle and strong spiritual beliefs.

[7] Burke's coronation as the "King of Rock 'n' Soul" at the Royal Theatre in Baltimore was reported in Jet in January, 1964.

[9] The New Rolling Stones Album Guide singles out Burke's version of the 1959 hit "He'll Have to Go" here as "a heartbreaking interpretation" and his version of Woody Guthrie's "Hard, Ain't It Hard" as a "lively stab".

[10] Allmusic notes that Burke's version of "Cry to Me" is "vaguely Caribbean in rhythmic feel", contributing to an "upbeat tempo" that stands "at odds" from the "solemn" lyrics.
