Clarence Carter, Sänger von 'Strokin'', stirbt mit 90 Jahren

Clarence Carter, der blinde Southern-Soul- und Bluesmusiker, der für Hits wie 'Patches' und 'Strokin'' bekannt war, ist im Alter von 90 Jahren gestorben. Er verstarb am Mittwoch eines natürlichen Todes.

Carter wurde am 14. Januar 1936 in Montgomery, Alabama, geboren und erblindete als Kind. Er brachte sich selbst das Gitarrespielen bei und studierte Musik am Alabama State College, bevor er eine Karriere begann, in deren Rahmen er in den Fame Studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama, an der Seite von Künstlern wie Duane Allman und Wilson Pickett aufnahm. Seine Single 'Patches' aus dem Jahr 1970 erreichte Platz 4 der Billboard Hot 100, während der 1986 erschienene Titel 'Strokin'' trotz begrenzter Radioeinsätze zu einem festen Bestandteil in Clubs wurde und später in Filmen wie dem 1996 erschienenen Remake von Der verrückte Professor sowie in Killer Joe zu hören war.
