  1. I believe this is my first visit here. Thank you for this nice reminder. I have the vinyl...but haven't spun this in year. Lou Rawls was such a fine performer in his day..open & engaging, capable of incredible moments of soul searing honesty, and laugh out loud insanity.
    I think I shall visit more often.

    1. Glad to have you aboard. Dig that moniker. Kind of an oxymoron of sorts

  3. Worked with Lou on a TV ad shoot once. It was a pleasure to hear him recite the same lines over & over. He shook my hand, said "It's been a real pleasure".
