Louis Allen “Lou” Rawls (December 1, 1933[1] – January 6, 2006) was an American recording artist, voice actor, songwriter, and record producer. He was known for his smooth vocal style: Frank Sinatra once said that Rawls had “the classiest singing and silkiest chops in the singing game”.[2] Rawls released more than 60 albums, sold more than 40 million records,[3] and had numerous charting singles, most notably his song “You’ll Never Find Another Love Like Mine“. He worked as a television, motion picture, and voice actor and was known for his frequently used expression, “Yeah, buddy!” Rawls was also a three-time Grammy-winner, all for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance.
