He was the consummate entertainer and a super classy act. And what a voice! I always wanted to see him at the Nugget in Sparks (he sells out every year there) but I never got around to it. Damn! January 06,2006 \| LOS ANGELES -- Grammy Award-winning singer Lou Rawls has died of lung cancer in Los Angeles. He was 72. The velvet-voiced singer started as a church choir boy and went on to sell more than 40 million albums. He won three Grammy Awards in a career that spanned nearly five decades and a range of genres. Rawls died this morning at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. He was hospitalized last month.
