Country/Rock Musician. A native of Lexington, Kentucky, he was born Allen Verner Levy, but used the stage names of Solomon King, Levi Jackson, and Randy Leeds.
.... His next projects included recorded Jewish songs such as, "My Yiddishe Momma", and wartime songs, "The White Cliffs Of Dover". He then played the circuit for awhile, but returned to record the 1971 gospel single, 'This Beautiful Day,' under the name of Levi Jackson
Solomon King and Levi Jackson are one in the same person.
The record was released as both 'Solomon King' and then as a publicity stunt from 'Columbia' records, as 'Levi Jackson', thinking that it may sell more copies under another name as Solomon Kings name was synonymous with records like 'She wears my ring' and Columbia thought that him being well known for that song wouldn't help the sales of this record.
wow. i had forgotten this one. Thanks for posting.

Then he must have recorded 2 different versions, because the one under "Solomon king" is far superior in my ears.
