We are sad to announce the passing of legendary Southern soul singer Clarence Carter.
 Born blind and raised in Alabama, Carter turned adversity into artistry, becoming one of the most distinctive and influential voices in soul music history. Across a career that spanned decades, his vocals, emotional storytelling, and unmistakable presence helped define the sound of Southern soul.
 From timeless records like “Slip Away” and “Patches” to the cultural phenomenon of “Strokin’,” Clarence Carter created music that resonated across generations. His songs carried honesty, heartbreak, humor, and resilience delivered with a voice that could never be duplicated. Beyond the music itself, Carter’s impact stretched far beyond the charts. His work helped shape the foundation of soul and R&B, influencing artists across multiple genres and generations. He remained a beloved figure in Black music whose catalog continued to connect with audiences old and new.
 We remember him not only his legendary records, but also the authenticity and spirit he brought to every performance. Clarence Carter leaves behind a lasting legacy that will continue to live through his music for years to come. 🕊 LL Clarence Carter
