What a wonderful place for memories for me. I am K. Spence, the co-writer of the "Nothings Impossible" album. I give my praises to KING SOLOMON AND POPS (WILLIE MITCHELL) for the opportunity to write and work with 2 (did you hear me) 2 LEGENDS!!!! I learned a helluva lot from both. As a songwriter its always hard to hear someone else tell you how a song should go that you wrote. Believe me I was humbled just to see Pops at work with a legend and given some game that few will ever get. From Solomon's strong fine tuned voice to Pop's fine tuned ear, it wasn't long before I was questioning my own writing, singing, and my own production skills. Most of all I learned that music should be approached like life. Of course you have to eat,breathe,and sleep music ( Ihave dreamed a song and jumped up and penned it) but like life you have to LIVE MUSIC.......AND LOVE IT!
REST IN PEACE TO A GOOD ,BEAUTIFUL SOUL. AND MY MENTOR FRIEND AND DAD...(ASK ANYONE WHO MET HIM) HE'S JUST WHAT EVERYBODY CALLED HIM "POP" I WILL LOVE AND MISS YOU BOTH.
RIP, Solomon Burke!
