Guest Brazilian Posted January 7, 2006 if so, this looks HIGHLY promising... http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10492861/ Good Job DLs !!!! Just read that he died. This proves that RESEARCH is very important in order to break 2003 DL record. What amazes most is that his name was first mentioned on 16th of December, he almost didn't make the 2006 list. There must be a site on the Internet that lists all famous people that have cancer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Four Horsemen 26 Posted January 7, 2006 I'd like to suggest either "Lou Rawls over and dies" or "Rawls plug pays off" as the headline - bit slow, but I only thought of them this morning........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canadian Paul 97 Posted January 7, 2006 Rawls well that ends well? Or perhaps some mutation about unwell. Give me a break, it's first thing in the morning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Magere Hein 1,400 Posted January 7, 2006 Well done that man! An early hit is always a nice start of a new DL year. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
in eternum+ 22 Posted January 8, 2006 Hurrah! An ace in the hole! Well done team! Guess he won't be appearing on Stevie Wonder's Tribute Show after all... I think you'll find he will be, as the show was pre-recorded. Caught a snippet of aforementioned tribute tonight. It was, indeed, recorded in September. They kept the Lou Rawls bit in, adding a rider at the bottom explaining that he is now, in fact, dead, and that this constituted his last ever television performance. The rider also suggested that in his memory, programme watchers should donate tons of cash to UNCF. It was a really good performance too - Stevie certainly seemed to enjoy it. Made me kind of weepy.

Death Watch Beatle 41 Posted January 8, 2006 Is January 6th the earliest ever date for a first DL success of the year? I good question, but one that has already been asked - by me! Could I refer the lady to page 5 of this very thread, and to an exchange between myself and GR. Your answer can be found there. DWB Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrunoBrimley 86 Posted January 8, 2006 Mr. Rawls has spent a total of 6 days of the DL - an impressively short stay - very hard to beat I would say. Interesting fact... Amazingly Rawls' time on DL wasn't the shortest stay...Brian Johnston (cricket commentator) spent just 5 days on DeathList in 1994. oh................

Windsor 2,233 Posted January 8, 2006 Mr. Rawls has spent a total of 6 days of the DL - an impressively short stay - very hard to beat I would say. Anybody want to work out who has had the longest stay? No? I thought not. DWB It was the late Queen Mother with 14 appearances. I was mistaken as the Pope only had 12.

Bennett_Cerf 2 Posted May 19, 2006 Until reading through this topic, I had no real knowledge of the late Mr. Rawls; although, I seem to recall him assisting as an Emcee on a number of charity telethons. So tragic that he will no longer grace us with his deep rich voice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vinegar Tits 606 Posted December 2, 2006 He's turned 70 today according to the birthdays in The Sun! Do you think we should tell them? It's my old place of work that types that stuff out. As I was the only avid deadpooler there, well, it's obvious they still need me! Perhaps I should offer my services (for a highly inflated fee of course). And yes, I think we should tell them. Particularly if it comes from a 'distressed member of his family' who, when facing their first Christmas alone without Lou, found this to be hugely upsetting.
