Lou Rawls was born in Chicago, Illinois on December 1, 1935. He was known for his very deep voice and his smooth style of singing. He also appeared in the movies: Angel Angel, Down We Go and Believe In Me. In addition, he hosted his own TV show in 1969. Sadly, he passed away January 6, 2006 from lung and brain cancer; a real loss to the entertainment world.He charted 19 times between 1965 and 1983; scored two Top Ten songs, one of which was the Christmas song Little Drummer Boy in 1967, and he achieved one Gold Record.
