Legacy , there are eight known recordings by King Solomon Hill: "Down on My Bended Knee" (Take 1) "Down on My Bended Knee" (Take 2) "The Gone Dead Train" "My Buddy Blind Papa Lemon" "Tell Me Baby" "Times Has Done Got Hard" "Whoopee Blues" (Take 1) "Whoopee Blues" (Take 2) "The Gone Dead Train" was the title of an episode in the ninth season of the television series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. A portion of the song is played in the episode, and King Solomon Hill is mentioned as the artist. The 1969 film Performance, directed by Nicolas Roeg and Donald Cammell and starring Mick Jagger and Marianne Faithfull, contained a song called "The Gone Dead Train", performed by Randy Newman. It is a rewrite by Jack Nitzsche and Russ Titelman and bears only a passing resemblance to "The Gone Dead Train" as performed by King Solomon Hill. As noted by the cultural historian Greil Marcus, the "dead train" in the Newman version is a metaphor for impotence. In Hill's song, the train appears to refer to an actual locomotive, which Hill referred to as a "death train."
