 Notes & Reviews
 
 
Excellent collection.
- Robert S Nelson, 07/16/2009, Australia

Full title is: Best of Lou Rawls [Angel]


The death of Lou Rawls on January 6, 2006 silenced on of the most distinctive voices in music. With his rich, resonant baritone, he could sing gospel, blues, jazz, pop and soul with equal authority and success. This collection, drawn from 14 albums, covers the greatest blues and jazz performance of his Capitol years (1962-70) and finds him in the company of such great arrangers as Benny Carter, Onzy Matthews, Benny Golson and H.B. Barnum. Blue Note. 2006.
