Synopsis

Album Description
2 CD set. Lou Rawl's death on January 6th, 2006 robbed the world of one of popular music's greatest tenor voices. Here we present his last albums for the Philadelphia International label, issued in 1980 & 1987. Shades Of Blue was produced by Joel Dorn (producer of Roberta Flack and Bette Midler) and features Rawls' gorgeous readings of the Righteous Brothers' 'You've Lost That Loving Feeling', Willie Dixon's 'Hoochie Coochie Man' and Aretha Franklin's 'Think' (from the original Blues Brothers film). Backing vocalists include Jocelyn Brown, Cissy Houston and the first recorded appearance of Whitney Houston. Family Reunion saw Rawls reunited with the songwriting and production skills of both Gamble & Huff and Dexter Wansel, along with the Philadelphia International session musicians and features Lou's cover of 'Unchained Melody'. Edsel. 2006.
