Description:
A standout from Burke’s early Atlantic years, “Home in Your Heart” finds him blending gospel fervor with a pop-soul sensibility, creating a performance that’s both intimate and electrifying. His voice commands every note — tender one moment, roaring the next — as he delivers a message of faith, love, and emotional grounding.

The B-side, “Words,” is a slower, introspective number showcasing Burke’s vocal precision and storytelling instinct. Together, they reveal the dual nature of his artistry: preacher and romantic, prophet and showman.

While “Home in Your Heart” didn’t chart as high as later hits, it became a mod and Northern Soul favorite in the UK and remains one of Burke’s most respected early sides — beloved by collectors for its pure Atlantic soul production and heartfelt delivery.
