Clarence Carter – the blind Southern soul singer whose raw vocals powered classics including Patches, Slip Away and the cult favourite Strokin’ – has died aged 90 following a battle with Stage 4 prostate cancer, pneumonia and sepsis.
The Grammy-winning musician, who became one of the defining voices of Southern R and B during the late 1960s and 1970s, died on Friday (15.05.26), according to Rolling Stone.
