Over the last forty years plus, Lou Rawls has been identified as a jazz performer, pop vocalist, folk stylist, soul singer, and blues interpreter. He's also performed at Broadway's Mark Hellinger Theatre.
Lou Rawls was born in Chicago, and made his singing debut at the age of seven, when he and the late Sam Cooke sang in a junior choir. His first professional experience began as a member of the Pilgrim Travelers, a well known gospel group from Los Angeles.
