Search and Destroy Lou Rawls

And his catalog is scattered all over the place on many labels. You'll never find a one-disc "best of" like mine.

"You'll Never Find Another Love"

You'll never find, as long as you live
Someone who loves you tender like I do
You'll never find, no matter where you search
Someone who cares about you the way I do

Whoa, I'm not braggin' on myself, baby
But I'm the one who loves you
And there's no one else! No one else!

You'll never find, it'll take the end of all time
Someone to understand you like I do
You'll never find the rhythm, the rhyme
All the magic we shared, just us two

Whoa, I'm not tryin' to make you stay, baby
But I know some how, some day, some way
You are (you're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss my lovin' (you're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss my lovin' (you're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss, you're gonna miss my lo-o-ove

Late in the midnight hour, baby (you're gonna miss my lovin')
When it's cold outside (you're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss, you're gonna miss my lo-o-ove

You'll never find another love like mine
Someone who needs you like I do
You'll never see what you've found in me
You'll keep searching and searching your whole life through

Whoa, I don't wish you no bad luck, baby
But there's no ifs and buts or maybes

(You're gonna) You're gonna miss (miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss my lovin' (you're gonna miss my lovin')
I know you're gonna my lovin' (you're gonna miss my lovin')
You're gonna miss, you're gonna miss my lo-o-ove

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, oh (you're gonna miss my lovin')
Late in the midnight hour, baby (you're gonna miss my lovin')
When it gets real cold outside (you're gonna miss my lovin')
I know, I know that you are gonna miss my lo-o-ove

Let me tell you that you're gonna miss my lovin'
Yes you will, baby (you're gonna miss my lovin')
When I'm long gone

I know, I know, I know that you are gonna miss

"How Do You Say (I Don't Love You Anymore)" = genius genius genius. brilliant performance. david axelrod!! breakz!1!!

Has anyone spun the Jim Derogatis yarn yet about how him and M.Doughty (I think) of Soul Coughing once went to a Lou Reed album signing at Tower Records. You'd bring the album up with you, and Lou would sign in -- invariably crankily. Anyway, M.Doughty walked up with a Lou Rawlsalbum. Oh how everyone laughed...even cranky Lou.

I have a live Lou Rawls album w/Axelrod arrangements...it's super.

i'm sure he was relieved that one of his fans had a sense of humor.

Lady Love?

this just turned up in my playlist. too damn good.
also, the month means i can kick back and enjoy his crimbo stuff.

My grandfather was from St. Louis, which is Rawls' hometown, I believe. My grandfather (RIP) had some bizarre irrational hatred for Rawls that I never understood. He also hated the Dallas Cowboys and former Card third baseman Ken Reitz, but he loved Lou Brock.

I'm wrong he was a Chicagoan. I guess I got mixed up by the Budweiser thing. The rest of my post stands though.

I Can't Make It Alone: The Axelrod Years is a real polar-bear-cool 25-track compilation of Raw' Lou. From 1966-1970.

Calling the thread "Search and Destroy Lou Rawls" makes it sound like you're stalking him.

Daniel, Esq., sir - 'tis wasnnae me who calleth it that!

lol. No worries; I understood what you really meant.

is it too late to add an OTFM to this statement ?

nope.

they could've called it 'RawRawls'

In my quest to finally complete my Rawls/Axelrod library, I'm currently hotly anticipating a package from the mailman that contains that very record. Yes, it will finish out the list.

Will report back after said package arrives. Which it can't do fast enough, as far as I'm concerned.

No idea why he couldn't stand this guy. Loved Lou Brock to death

Got the album. Slight disappointment as this is the only Axelrod arrangement on the album:

But, holy moly, is it ever a good one.

Hard to say where the album would fall in my Lou/Axe/HB favorites, but the presence of 'I Can't Make it Alone' ensures it a spot probably in the top three.
