Clarence Carter, cantante de 'Strokin'', muere a los 90 años

Clarence Carter, el músico invidente de soul sureño y blues, conocido por éxitos como 'Patches' y 'Strokin'', ha fallecido a los 90 años. Murió el miércoles por causas naturales.

Carter nació el 14 de enero de 1936 en Montgomery, Alabama, y perdió la vista cuando era niño. Aprendió a tocar la guitarra de forma autodidacta y estudió música en el Alabama State College antes de iniciar una carrera que incluyó grabaciones en los Fame Studios de Muscle Shoals, Alabama, junto a artistas como Duane Allman y Wilson Pickett. Su sencillo de 1970, 'Patches', alcanzó el puesto número 4 en la lista Billboard Hot 100, mientras que el tema de 1986 'Strokin'' se convirtió en un elemento básico de las discotecas a pesar de la escasa difusión radiofónica, y más tarde apareció en películas como el remake de 1996 de El profesor chiflado y Killer Joe.
