Solomon Burke was a talented singer who had his ups and downs when it had to deal with his romances and personal relationship with others. He had always kept a private life of his affairs away from the media.

Solomon Burke had been married four times already and his first marriage was to Doris P. Williams. The duo got married in June 1958 and had their marriage annulled by August 1958. Though reasons were given, most people had said they had rushed into getting married without being sure they wanted to be with each other.
