- Alicia Keys kicked if off with a duet with a taped Frank Sinatra performance. I thought it was well done and a good start for the 50th Anniversary edition.

Though her name appeared first on the bill for the sold-out show, the opening act, the Blind Boys, blew her off the stage.

Solomon Burke w/ The Dixie Hummingbirds
Duke University
Feb. 2, 2008
Review By Grant Britt
It was billed as "The Definition of Soul: Solomon Burke with The Dixie Hummingbirds" at Duke University’s Page Auditorium. Part of a two-month long program Duke calls "Soul Power: From Gospel to Godfather," the Feb. 2 show was an electrifying presentation of the roots of soul.
