Thread Name: Obit: James Carr is dead
Subject: RE: James Carr is dead
If James Carr is (was) one of the greatest, possibly THE greatest voices in soul music, how come I have never heard of him and how come there are no hits when you search the Web? I mean I am no expert on soul music, but I have heard Otis Redding ,Curtis Mayfield, James Brown, and David Allison, but James Carr? I seek further enlightenment. FFTIW I like Ry Cooder's "Dark End of the Street" best, and also as sung by the fat guy in the "Commitments".
