Not since the great Ray Charles burst into the musical firmament has an entertainer illuminated contemporary music with the brilliance of Lou Rawls. Having a string of smash hit albums to his credit, Lou approaches the materials in tis album with supreme confidence and self-assuredness of a "star." He knows what to do. He knows he's right. And when you know you're right, you an hardly ever go wrong. And the combining of Lou Rawls with H.B. Barnum's music is a stroke of genius or good fortune (or both) unparalleled since someone at Capitol thought of putting Nelson Riddle together with Frank Sinatra.
What great things to come out of Lou Rawls and what amazing things he has done for this record.
Enjoy!
