![]() ![]() It all began on December 1, 1933, in Chicago, Illinois, USA with the birth of a boy, Louis Allen Rawls, who would become the legendary Lou Rawls. ![]() He ultimately went on to release such blockbuster pop hits as “ You’ll Never Find (Another Love Like Mine)”, “Lady Love”, and many more.Ī gifted performer, his award-winning career spanned 40 years in both music and acting, and he sold more than 40 million records as a Grammy Award-winning singer.ġ975 / YOU’LL NEVER FIND (ANOTHER LOVE LIKE MINE) Rawls included spoken word segments in some of his songs, like a precursor to rap music. But it wasn’t until the 1966 smash single “Love Is a Hurtin’ Thing” that he hit the top of the R&B charts and earned his first gold record. Rawls released his first album in 1962, “I’d Rather Drink Muddy Water”. I think it was around 1963 when I first remember hearing Lou Rawls, and it was a bluesy jazz song with the wonderful Les McCann on piano. This man is one of my all time favourite singers – with a distinctive and instantly recognizable silky baritone voice – a man who has covered the gamut of musical vocal styles from gospel to jazz, to spoken word (rap), to pop – a singer / songwriter / actor and philanthropist! ![]()
