According to "Black Voices Blog", former "Grey's Anatomy" star, Isaiah Washington will star in the Lou Rawls biopic. Perhaps this will be the break that Mr. Washington needs after it was said that he made racist comments about one of "Grey"s fellow actors, who happens to be gay. Pathway Entertainment has acquired the script 'Through the Eyes of a Son,' which was written by his son Lou Rawls Jr.

Lou Jr. will also serve as one of the movie's producers and has co-writer's and co-producers of his script, Dimi Sloane and Robert Egan.  
I'm sure that many of Mr. Lou Rawls fans will be surprised to learn that he had so many more talents. He's one of the few performers, who was indeed a perfect role model. You never heard gossip about the man who once sang with the great Sam Cooke. After he continued moving forward as a solo act, singing gospel, jazz, R&B and pop and became one of the classiest, top-drawer performers of his generation and generations to come.

It's wonderful that our stories, people of color, are being told. The Richard Pryor and the Marvin Gaye stories are being made. It's been said for years that Ms. Pearl Bailey's story is in the works and that Ms. Queen Latifah may be cast as the gifted performer. I can't wait to see some of our heroes on the big screen.
