Editor's note

Lou Rawls, the velvet-voiced soul singer from Chicago

A gospel-trained vocalist who recorded over 40 albums spanning soul, R&B, jazz, and pop.

For the full Rawls experience, put on 'You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine' and then maybe 'At Last.' That's where you hear what he could do.

Rawls had that kind of voice that felt like it was speaking directly to you, whether he was singing a ballad or something with a little more swing. His 1966 album 'Love Is a Hurtin' Thing' gave us 'You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine,' which became his signature hit. He could handle everything from 'Lady Love' to 'Let Me Be Good To You' with the same easy warmth.

He grew up singing in Chicago church choirs before signing with Capitol Records in the early 1960s. His debut album was 'Stormy Monday,' and he went on to record with musicians like pianist Gene Harris and artists like Sammy Davis Jr. and Tony Bennett.
