Les McCann

About the artist

Leslie Coleman "Les" McCann (Lexington, Kentucky, September 23, 1935 - Los Angeles, California, December 29, 2023) was an American soul jazz pianist and vocalist whose biggest successes came as a crossover artist into R&B and soul. An early musical success for McCann was his winning of a Navy talent contest for singing; this led to an appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show. McCann's main career began in the early 1960s when he recorded as a pianist with his trio for Pacific Jazz Records.
