"Everybody Needs Somebody To Love" (Bert Berns - Solomon Burke - Jerry Wexler) was produced by Bert Berns and released by Solomon Burke in 1964. This track is extended here to from the usual minute to double that simply to include the "sermon". The single peaked at number fifty-eight on Billboard. Mr. Burke insisted he was the only writer. Wikipedia: "In 1997, Burke recalled: "When I did it for Jerry Wexler and Bert Burns (sic), they told me that song would never make it. I said, 'Well, I tell ya what—I'll give you a piece of it.' They said, 'That's the way we'll get the record played, so we'll take a piece of it.' In those days, they took a piece of your songs—a piece of the publishing—but in the end, you didn't have any pieces left. Even now, I'm still struggling to get the publishing, the royalties, and that'll never happen."
Wilson Pickett covered "Everybody Needs Somebody To Love" in 1966 and specifically mentions Solomon Burke in the song which reached number twenty-nine pop and nineteen R&B. This is on the album "The Wicked Pickett"
