Goodbye Lou Rawls

lou rawls hosted the UNCF telethons for years. he was a good guy with a big voice and a bigger heart.

as a young, white suburbanite, lou rawls was completely off my radar. plus, i never got to reap the benefits of the UNCF. i just finished off paying college loans. thanks for nothing, lou. :P
