Since 2003, the annual Southern Entertainment Awards has been revered as the first awards show in the South to honor the independent talent of those working within the urban entertainment industry. It’s also the first awards show to provide the community, both artists and fans alike, with the opportunity to nominate and vote for the winners in each category. For this reason, the SEAs has quickly become one of the most celebrated events for regional DJs, models, rappers, R&B singers, websites, mix tapes, magazines and more.

Lou Rawls - Dead at 72

Lou Rawls, whose mellifluous baritone was featured on hits ranging from his own "You'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine" to Sam Cooke's "Bring It on Home to Me," has died. He was 72.

Rawls died Friday morning at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California, where he was hospitalized last month for treatment of lung and brain cancer, said his publicist, Paul Shefrin. His wife, Nina, was at his bedside when he died.

The singer was as well known for his charitable activities as he was for his smooth four-octave range. He founded the Lou Rawls Parade of Stars Telethon, which raised millions of dollars for the United Negro College Fund.

Rawls was born on December 1, 1933, in Chicago, Illinois. (Some sources say 1935.) A childhood friend of Sam Cooke -- and, like Cooke, trained in gospel -- as a teenager he took Cooke's place in Cooke's gospel group, the Highway QCs, and later supported Cooke on tour and in the studio.
