The music world is mourning the loss of one of their own. Legendary soul and rhythm and blues singer, Clarence Carter has died - this according to Rolling Stone and several other sources.

Born in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1936, Carter overcame blindness from childhood and developed a powerful, emotionally expressive singing style that blended gritty storytelling with humor and deep feeling. He first gained attention in the 1960s through regional recordings before signing with Atlantic Records, where he achieved his greatest commercial success.

Carter became known for a string of soul hits that crossed over onto the pop charts during the late 1960s and 1970s. One of his earliest breakthroughs came with “Slip Away” (1968), a smooth and heartfelt ballad that became a Top 10 pop hit and established him as a major soul artist. He followed it with “Too Weak to Fight,” another emotionally charged recording that showcased his distinctive vocal delivery.
Among his most famous songs was “Patches” (1970), a dramatic story-song about hardship and responsibility that became an international success. The song earned Carter a Grammy Award and remains one of the defining recordings of classic Southern soul music. Another major hit, “Back Door Santa,” blended blues humor with holiday themes and later gained renewed popularity after being sampled in hip-hop music.

Carter also became widely recognized for his playful and risqué material. Songs such as “Strokin’” turned him into a cult favorite and introduced him to younger audiences decades after his initial chart success. Although controversial to some listeners, these recordings reflected his outgoing stage personality and willingness to mix comedy with blues traditions.

Throughout his career, Carter remained a respected live performer whose music influenced generations of soul, blues, and R&B artists.

Carter was 90 years old, at the time of his passing. His memory will live on through his music.

TV mogul Ted Turner has passed away at the age of 87. Turner founded the Cable News Network (CNN), the first 24-hour cable news channel. In addition, he founded WTBS, which pioneered the superstation concept in cable television, as well as television networks TNT and Cartoon Network. His purchase of an Atlanta UHF station in 1970 began the Turner Broadcasting System. He was also a sports figure himself. Turner turned the Atlanta Braves baseball team into a nationally popular franchise (including winning the 1995 World Series under his ownership), and launched the charitable Goodwill Games. He helped revive interest in professional wrestling by purchasing Jim Crockett Promotions which was then rebranded as World Championship Wrestling (WCW). He also owned the NBA’s Atlanta Hawks and the NHL’s Atlanta Thrashers. He also co-created the environmental-themed animated series Captain Planet and the Planeteers.

Stax Records and the Soulsville Foundation are saddened to hear of the passing of Steve Cropper.

A founding member of Booker T & The MGs, Cropper’s distinctive guitar work, production, and songwriting helped shape the Memphis soul sound. A trusted songwriting collaborator for artists like Otis Redding, Eddie Floyd, and others, Cropper played a vital role in countless Stax recording sessions throughout the 1960s and into 1970.

As the co-writer of “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay,” “Knock On Wood,” and “In the Midnight Hour,” he leaves a legacy that stands with the legends of 20th-century soul music.
