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.

there are singers and then there are great people--Lou was at the forefront of the United Negro College Fund--always on the the telethon, asking, telling, hell, begging people to send money in to help the next generation be better.
BIG UPS TO YOU LOU  you look better on your facebook page than you do in person | |

I just saw the news out here in NY. Very sad news. He was a great singer with great songs and he will be missed. My prayers are with Lou's family. I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that | |

I grew up listening to him ~ a voice from Heaven ~ now he will sing with the Angels. A sad loss for us. Music is the language of the spirit. It opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife. --Kahlil Gibran | |

Awww...dang! I heard that he wasn't doing well last month, so it's not a complete surprise, but still. Gotta play some of his songs today. RIP! "Funkyslsistah… you ain't funky at all, you just a little ol' prude"!

Amen! "Groovy People" was one of my favorite songs of Lou's. Cool lyrics... RIP, Mr. Rawls
Many a student who attended/attends an HBCU (Historically Black College and University) has Lou to thank for his United Negro College Fund (UNCF) telethon efforts. | |

A great singer. Much more than the guy who appeared on Fantasy Island and sang You're Gonna Miss My Loving, but I didn't know that till recently. Check this song out at:
