"King Ernest, who passed away in early 2000 in a car accident was one of the best live performers of all time. In the studio, the first thing that surprised me is that Ernest was a very good technical singer. "King Of Hearts" is a solid blues album with a nice uptempo R&B, Chicago and Swing feel with a little bit of guitar bite and Memphis sounding horn section. The cd simply gets one's motor going, with a few ballads at the stop lights. However,if your preference is more straight Soul like Al Green and Marvin Gaye, King's other cd "Blues Got Soul" would be the better choice. Besides being a talented singer, King was one of the nicest people that ever walked the face of the earth. He made everyone around him feel better with his love of life. We miss you, Ernest. R.I.P."
