THE HAT SQUAD: LOU RAWLS

Singer Lou Rawls has passed away from cancer. His voice served him in good stead in the Tooniverse, and his talent made him a welcome guest on many sitcoms as himself. But he also showed he had dramatic chops in TV shows of all genres, from Westerns to private eye actioners.
