Latimore’s Legacy in Southern Soul | Cleveland News
Description
R&B and blues lost a true legend with the passing of Latimore at 86 — the man behind the iconic 1974 smash “Let’s Straighten It Out,” a song that redefined Southern Soul and still echoes through generations. Rising in ’65, he charted hits like “Stormy Monday” but it was his signature track that cemented his place in music history, earning him 27 albums and a 2017 Blues Hall of Fame induction. Fellow artists and fans praise his soulful voice, masterful keyboard skills, and emotional depth — qualities that shaped the genre and inspired countless musicians. His final album, “Latimore Remembers Ray Charles,” released in 2013, remains a testament to his enduring love for music. His legacy? Unforgettable.
