Grammy-Winning Singer Lou Rawls Dies

Friday, January 6, 2006
LOS ANGELES - Lou Rawls, the velvet-voiced singer who started as a church choir boy and went on to sell more than 40 million albums has died at age 72. He won three Grammy Awards in a career that spanned nearly five decades and a range of genres.

Rawls died early Friday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he was hospitalized last month for treatment of lung and brain cancer, his publicist Paul Shefrin said. His wife Nina was at his bedside when he died, Shefrin said.

for 20 years I've been wondering when we missed Keith Richards' obituary.

Makes him about the same age as Sam Cooke would have been - he must have lived a better life.
