A Voice That Won’t Be Forgotten

Carl Carlton’s legacy isn’t limited to chart positions.

It can be heard whenever “Everlasting Love” plays at a gathering, when “She’s a Bad Mama Jama” appears on a classic-funk playlist, or when a younger artist samples sounds from the era that Carlton helped define.

His music crossed generations because it combined powerful vocals with the rhythms of soul, funk, and R&B.

Carlton may be gone, but those recordings remain.

And for the millions who heard his voice over the years, that is perhaps the most fitting tribute of all: the music continues to play.
