Louis Allen Rawls (December 1, 1933 – January 6, 2006) was an American singer, songwriter, actor, voice actor, and record producer. Rawls released more than 60 albums, sold more than 40 million records, and had numerous charting singles, most notably his song "You'll Never Find Another Love like Mine". He worked as a film, television, and voice actor. He was also a three-time Grammy-winner, all for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance.

Shades Of Blue ‎(LP, Album). Philadelphia International Records. More blues and less soul than my other Rawls albums, which is nice to have. The background vocals aren't particularly notable on listening, but yes it is that Whitney Houston (16 or 17 at the time of the record's release). Her mother, Emily "Cissy" Houston gets special mention in the thanks on the back cover. This was a good addition to my collection.

Tracklist: 1. Did You Ever Love A Woman (3:23) 2. A Cottage For Sale (4:02) 3. Be Anything (But Be Mine) (3:42) 4. You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin' (5:17) 5. I Go Crazy (3:51) 6. Think (3:52) 7. (I'm Your) Hoochie Coochie Man (6:25) 8. Baby, What You Want Me To Do (3:52). He worked as a television, motion picture, and voice actor.
