Clarence Carter, interprète de "Strokin'", est décédé à 90 ans

Clarence Carter, le musicien de soul et de blues du Sud, aveugle, connu pour ses succès comme "Patches" et "Strokin'", est décédé à l'âge de 90 ans. Il s'est éteint mercredi de causes naturelles.

Carter est né le 14 janvier 1936 à Montgomery, en Alabama, et a perdu la vue durant son enfance. Il a appris la guitare en autodidacte et a étudié la musique à l'Alabama State College avant de lancer une carrière qui l'a conduit à enregistrer aux Fame Studios de Muscle Shoals, en Alabama, aux côtés d'artistes tels que Duane Allman et Wilson Pickett. Son single "Patches", sorti en 1970, a atteint la quatrième place du Billboard Hot 100, tandis que le titre "Strokin'", sorti en 1986, est devenu un incontournable des clubs malgré une diffusion radio limitée, apparaissant plus tard dans des films comme le remake de 1996 du Professeur foldingue et Killer Joe.
