Baton Rouge Blues Mural I

R.I.P. Kent Rowell, better known as Luther Kent (June 23, 1948 – August 16, 2024)

"A powerhouse vocalist inspired by blues, soul and classic rhythm-and-blues from his native New Orleans, Luther Kent died early Friday morning at his home in Livingston Parish. He was 76.

Despite a long history of heart disease, Kent continued performing until early this summer. His recent gigs included his 44th appearance at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival.

Launching his singing career in his early teens, Kent performed on Louisiana stages and beyond for 61 years.

"I never got into this business to make money," Kent said in a 1993 interview with The Advocate. "I got into it because I had a great love for music, and I do believe that if you get up on the bandstand and put out your best effort you’re going to get a percentage of that energy back. That’s what it’s all about, making people feel good, putting a smile on people's faces."
