Clarence Carter (vocals, guitar, keyboards) is an artist
who is one of the greats of Southern Music. His modern
deep Blues oriented Soul styled boasting a low-pitched
Bluesy growl and what has been called the sexiest groan
this side of conway twitty, is unique. Carter (born
January 14, 1936, Montgomery, Alabama), has been
blind since he was a one year old.
His hits "Patches" (#4POP, #2R&B 1970), "Slip Away"
(#6POP, #R&B 1968) and "Too Weak To Fight" (#13
POP, #3R&B 1968) feature on the latter two his
impassioned mammoth vocals, his twanging guitar over
a solid Soul, Groove and Memphis style horns.
"Patches", which was hailed an instant classic on its
release, is a maudlin narrative tale of death, destruction
and redemption, and has been covered by countless
artists, none coming near Carters in emotional depth.
