:( :( :( I had just read this. How very sad. :( Rest in peace, Mr. Rawls.

:( This is so sad, because my high school friends (one now a soror) and I had a running joke about Low Rawls all though high school. That was my homey in my head. R.I.P. Low Rawls.:(

sad...

Right now, I have "You'll Never Find" running through my mind. I hope the jazz station here in SoCal plays his music, he did a great album with Les McCann back in the early 1960s.

RIP, Lou.

We'll never find another voice like his. R.I.P. Lou :(
