Deep Soul singer Howard Tate New York Times obituary:

To me - Soul music is like Country music - even 6 or 7 notches down from Otis there are great singers and records music to be found even as 6 or 7 notches down from Hag there are great singers and records to be found.

One of the best, yet most underrated soul singers of all time. "Get It While You Can" is an essential R&B album
