AND, here's what I found....
Rawls was a awesome vocalist, FRANK SINATRA said [ a quote from WIKIPEDIA, "] that Rawls had "the classiest singing and silkiest chops in the singing game". O.K., now, that's from Sinatra who knows what he's talking about.
Rawls won three [3] GRAMMYS, for his voice. He was a 'voice actor'...so, I'd guess that means he did...??? I'll check, it must be something very cool. .he wrote and produced songs too. Well, Rawls was an actor and had a cool voice...could that be a 'voice actor'? Maybe.
When he was a young man, Rawls was friends with SAM COOKE and CURTIS MAYFIELD in Chicago.
In 1958 he was pronounced dead from a car crash, stayed in a coma for three days, then recovered...it took over a year....WOW...amazing.
He did some vocal/harmonies for his buddy Sam Cooke, on Cooke's recordings of "Bring It On Home to Me" and "That's Where It's At," In '62, he made a jazz album with LES McCANN and the recording of 'Tabacco Road' below, he was put into the National 'lime light' and became very well known in our country.
