Lou Rawls died today

Lou was 72 and battling lung and brain cancer. While he lived, he was a soul icon. Everyone loved Lou's smoothe voice. Who doesn't know that song You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine?

I was an even bigger fan of his animated voice work. Lou supplied voices for many cartoon characters (I know, I'm a complete nerd), most notably for show like Rugrats and Hey Arnold on Nickelodeon. He was also a voice on Captain Planet and the Planeteers (for those of you old enough to remember).

I'm "gonna miss, gonna miss" you Lou.
