  • Haven't hear this in forever.  Thanks

  • Most of the black areas in the U.S. has neighborhoods where the hustlers come out in the late night/early morning, with every imaginable kind of hustle. Pimps, cons, night women, hang-outers, any anybody else who didn't want to go home when the nightclubs closed on weekends. Bootleg liquor was had for a buck or two more in half-pint bottles, people walked the streets with a bottle in their back pocket, purse or suit coat. It was the game. Street Corner Hustlers Blues was normal in every word!

  • You Jive Melon Farmer!

  • There was only one Lou Rawls.  He was simply wonderful.

  • If Lou Rawls recorded a CD titled "Lou Rawls Reads the Dictionary", I would buy it

  • Remember riding in the car wit my Daddy and this in the 8-Track.... Haven't heard it in YEEEAAARRRRSSSSZZZZZZ but reciting it like I hear everyday.

  • Incomparable

  • We all miss Mr. Lou Rauls.

  • love this from the very first day i heard this in 1963 it sounds GREAT!!!!

  • This song and The Girl From Ipanema that is featured on the album are my alltime favorites from Lou. As a 14 year old, my brother pooled our money too buy this album for our mother who was nuts about Lou. This was my introduction to Lou, and I have been listening too him ever since. R.I.P. King of the monologues. Nobody tells a story better!
