Lou Rawls And The Philly Pay Off
John Abbey, Blues & Soul, August 1976
Lou was beginning to feel he'd never happen big in Britain but his CBS-Philly tie-up has paid a big divvy. Now he's planning a trip here for TV and to watch some soccer. You'll be welcome Lou...any friend of Pele is a friend of ours!
