All I can say Is this: A voice like his is a terrible thing to waste. He was a true original, and it saddens me we'll never see his likes again. Thank God for YouTube! We can hear that voice long after he's gone. We miss you ,Lou!

I was so fortunate to work 9yrs. as a stage tech. in the Las Vegas Hilton main showroom where I worked 2 performances nightly, 12 shows in a 6 day week. In the late 70's & early 80's Lou Rawls played 2 week engagements 3 times a year. His shows were identical in song running order, & even his banter with the audience. But we all looked forward to his 2 wk runs, Also the fantastic Hiton 44 piece orchestra backed him. We would say, "It Sure Beats Working for a Living" .... Good Times !
Check out Rosco (in Dallas) who does Lou Rawls big time! The Lon Dorsey Band on Facebook. Also on MySpace under that name. You can search Rosco Lou Rawls on Google... If you need the band there is ample contact info on these.
In one Summer Monsoon evening in Phoenix, Arizona, My young wife and I finally had enough money to go out for the evening. It had flooded that evening so it was hard to get to the theatre but when we got in The stage revolved 360 degrees the seats were cushioned and they sold Pina Coladas. Thank you Low Rawls, you are in our hearts as we enter our 37th year together. Thank you for that romantic evening.

MET LOU AT LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS AIRPORT IN 1996 I SANG FOR HIM AND HE SIMPLY SAID..HEEEYYY..MISS YOU LOU A GREAT HUMANITARIAN AND AMERICAN.... MUSIC GENIOUS.
...Lou Rawls as and always will be in life and death..one of the most beautiful and romantic men ever!!! I can feel his emotion in his voice and his songs....Live on Lou..because you always will in my heart and my life....... Love Ya Lou!!! Live on... in my heart....
I love this song and I loved Lou Rawls, I know he had class, up until he married that money hungry nazi witch, who took advantage of someone with brain injury... RIP Mr Rawls.
Lou Rawls was kind enough to call my father when he was very very ill. Mr. Rawls was working on the Don King story for HBO at that time and was kind enough to call my father. My dad nearly jumped through the phone! It was awesome. I grew listening to you in the 60s and 70s. The world has lost a gem of a human being. Talk about class. Lou Rawls is second to none. RIP Lou!
Nobody does it like Mr Lou Rawls! we love you' and Thank you Mr Rawls for your soul' your beauty' your class' your style' your love' your voice' your smile...yeah buddy!
Where are the Lou Rawls and Al Greens of today? No one knows! They sure aren't in the music business. All this new music sucks, I wouldn't even call it music it is more like noise.
@PRBDennis you´r right! the music from today is really shit!!! musicians like lou rawls,marvin Gaye,george benson,etc. they were really GREAT...and now...? everything sounds similar,everything sounds crap!!
Notice how he handles the dynamics when he screams - he moves the mic away from his mouth. Excellent, what a great singer - few have such command this day.
... heard this being played on the radio yesterday, (that voice, mmm, smoother than smooth) just had to see if I'd find it here. Thanks so much for sharing, brings back a lot of memories.
I grew up in the 70s listening to this with my mom. This was when men were really men! They dressed like men, smelled like men, and acted like men, and treated women with respect. All the guys back then Lou, Isaac, Teddy, Larry; they weren't real good looking but they had that manly sex appeal. You knew they were grown ass men from the jump and all of them looked like they were either somebody's dad or uncle but you knew they were grown up men! I can respect that and bring it back today!
When I was a child I heard this guy and couldn`t help to buy his records, his wonderful voice and swing was so special that even a child could tell he had something... A hell of a singer, RIP.
I loved this song.I use to hear all the time on classic radio channel. Eventhough I was born in the 80s I just can't get enough of the music from the 60s N 70s.The music was great, the artist put their love into it.They didn't just rush to put out garbage just to make a fast buck.I don't even listen to the radio anymore unless its playing the music of yester-years.Lou Rawls was truly an amazing talent. I loved his music N will always be a fan. RIP Mr. Rawls and thanks for your beautiful songs.
I love this song! I remember the last time I saw him perform, he sang the national anthem in the World Series at US Celular Field in Chicago in '05. He will be truely missed.
A great performer with a fantastic voice! I saw him twice in the 70s, (my aunt was a fan), and both times he put on a excellent show. Nice voice and personality! A real entertainer.
I think the best way to describe Lou's voice is "rich". Just a wonderful blend of full, round sounds, subtle, deep, unmistakenly masculine and macho. Not to mention smooth as silk -- gentle yet authoritative. Just marvelous. He makes Michael Buble look like Mr. Ed. What a talent -- really miss him. Wonder if he was ever aware how blessed he was to have a voice (and sound) like that?
My mum remembers the 70's. From what she says about it, they were just great times! The music, night clubs (live music, not crappy rave tunes!), and great people.
Lou Rawls is my all time favourite, I love his music, the way he uses his voice, manipulates the tones, a beatiful singer, the best crooner since ...Bing Crosby, Paul Robson ?
Well Lou's voice sounds awesome here; I listened to his newer tunes and seems like he has lost some of his great voice...still one of the all time greats...
fantastic voice! great performer! thank you Mister Lou Rawls for sharing for sharing your talent with us..wherever you are now, your kind of music will remain forever in my heart..
Thank you for the post. This brings back alot of memories. I first saw Lou when I was an undergraduate student at the University of Nevada-Reno back in the early 1980s. I worked part time at Harrah's hotel as "runner" in their theatre. I had the great fortune of working one of his shows as Lou was in town for a two-week stay during the winter. Cold, Snowy weather notwithstanding, he sold out every show. I even got a chance to meet him as well. What a classy human being. R.I.P. Lou.
This was so awesome! If you look up smooth in the dictionary his picture is beside the definition. This is also one of my all tome favorite R&B songs from an amazing singer. Thank you so much for posting such a classic clip (:+] >
Rare talent... where are this kind of singers today????

Thank you for the post. This brings back alot of memories. I first saw Lou when I was an undergraduate student at the University of Nevada-Reno back in the early 1980s. I worked part time at Harrah's hotel as "runner" in their theatre. I had the great fortune of working one of his shows as Lou was in town for a two-week stay during the winter. Cold, Snowy weather notwithstanding, he sold out every show. I even got a chance to meet him as well. What a classy human being. R.I.P. Lou.

This was so awesome! If you look up smooth in the dictionary his picture is beside the definition. This is also one of my all tome favorite R&B songs from an amazing singer. Thank you so much for posting such a classic clip (:+] >
