Lou Rawls Your Good Thing
“I Can't Make It Alone” (Capitol) 1969
by Wax Poetics
Pour a little Hennessy out for our man Lou Rawls, who passed away on Friday, January 6, 2006. His amazing baritone can be heard on this David Axelrod-produced soul masterpiece, aided with funky drums and bass, sparse piano, and a sly vibraphone arrangement. Rest in Peace. They ain’t making them like they used to.
