The singer, was famous for his fiery vocals and masculine persona was best known for such high-energy soul hits as "In the Midnight Hour," "Mustang Sally" and "Land of 1000 Dances."

Born in Prattville, Alabama, on March 18, 1941, honed his vocal style singing gospel in Southern Baptist churches.

His most recent album, 1999's It's Harder Now, received rave reviews, three WC Handy Awards -- including Best Soul/Blues Male Artist of the Year -- and a Grammy nomination.

May God give peace to his soul.

Too bad because he's one of the best singers that I know. But I know his legacy will still be in our hearts specially to his fan.
