Soul singer Lou Rawls died today from lung cancer, according to statement
from his publicist.
 

Dayum, I just read the other day that he was spearheading a rebuilding effort in New Orleans. RIP Lou.

NICE
 
RIP Lou! I heard several weeks ago that he wasn't expected to live much longer because of his brain and lung cancer.
 
Just saw it on CNN.


The brotha was smooth as silk. His voice and untiring work with the UNCF will be greatly missed. Lady Love was my favorite of all the good tunes he made.


Rest well, Lou!
 
Grammy-Winning Singer Lou Rawls Dies

LOS ANGELES - Lou Rawls, the velvet-voiced singer who started as a church choir boy and went on to record such classic tunes as "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine," died Friday of cancer. He was 72.

Rawls died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he was hospitalized last month for treatment of lung and brain cancer, said his publicist, Paul Shefrin. His wife, Nina, was at his bedside when he died.

Rawls' family and Shefrin said the singer was 72, although other records indicate he was 70.

Rawls' deep, smooth voice was his trademark, and he used it in a variety of genres.

RIP :angel2:
 

He never receieved enough credit for what he did with the United Negro College Fund.
 
I heard he had just finished a taping for the United Negro College Fund Telethon which airs this week before he fell gravely ill.
