Singer Lou Rawls has died

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Lou Rawls has died.



The singer died this morning at Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, where he was being treated for lung cancer and brain cancer.

A spokesman says his wife Nina was at his bedside when he died.

His velvet voice sold more than 40 million albums and won three Grammy Awards. His hits included "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine."

In 2001 he told The Associated Press he'd learned from watching other entertainers it was impossible to "burn the candle at both ends and in the middle."

Lou Rawls was 72.

RIP Lou. Funny true story...My high school friends and myself used to play a game called "Lou Rawls." 1 person would tag another and say "Lou Rawls" while crossing his fingers. This meant that the taggee cannot transmit it back to the original tagger. It used to cause fist fights among friends. If ever around boxer James Toney. Ask him about the game "Lou Rawls." He will tell you.....It was a very popular game here in Ann Arbor from '86-'88. RIP Lou.
