Lou Rawls was feelin' fine... For Lou, there's no other way but loose. That's how it is with His newest album -ST 2632 his newest single "Dead End Street." A mercy -like beat, a great soul vocal, and a 11/2 -minute monologue of typical Rawlsian humor and truth. And since millions dig this kind of song, Capitol has come out with a new 12 -pack. It's called Lou Rawls Carryin' On. It's real good. Yeah.
