I'm from and still live in Chicago. This is one of my favorite tunes from one of my favorite albums. Thanks for hitting me with it. I used to be "heavily conked to the bone" myself! Dig the good stuff people. They're sharing it on YouTube!

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!

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

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!
Lou was a great story teller,R.I.P. Lou, great songs throughout his career.
