Lou Rawls, has been an inspiration for many who followed, you have to listen to where it has come from to see what happened and where it might go.

I know it's ages since you posted this but i just want to say that i've always thought that Lou Rawls was highly under-rated. He has such a distinctive voice and if you've ever heard Let's Clean up The Ghetto by The Philadelphia Allstars he does the intro and it's brilliant.

I`m totally with barbarella. I hope there will be an unsung episode about him

I have always loved Lou Rawls and believe that he is seriously underrated too. His live album and particularly his version of 'Girl From Ipanema' is a big favourite of mine.

There's something about Lou Rawls that either you love him or you don't.
No one disputes his talent , that's for sure.
When I was growing up, I thought he had a great voice, but for some reason,
he didn't capture my imagination.
I don't know why.

Jazzpig... you hit it right on the head.
Either you love him or you don't.
I like his voice... but you expressed it well... he didn't capture my imagination.
He didn't draw me in... and I can't say why either?
Funny that.
