Soul music legend Lou Rawls has died at age 72 in a Los Angeles hospital, after suffering for months with lung and brain cancer. Rawls has long been known for his distinctive deep voice that graced songs ranging from Gospel to Disco over his nearly 50 year career. He also served for several years as the TV spokesman for Budweiser. However, he will perhaps best be remembered for his charitable work, particularly his annual telethon for the United Negro College Fund.
