The Legend Continues

PART ONE - An introduction to the life and times of Sir Lattimore, who was in the midst of a comeback when he died in Pensacola one year ago.

PART TWO - The legend continues,with rumors of the musician's premature death, and how a series of tragic events brought him to Pensacola.

PART THREE - The Soul Singer finds new friends in Florida, who help him get back on his feet.

PART FOUR - As he deals with a major illness, the R&B musician is reunited with the daughter he abandoned decades before and starts to record again.

PART FIVE - About two years after moving to Pensacola, Sir Lattimore's life and career are finally back on track. Then, in an instant, it was all gone.

Nicole Sturgill is a News Anchor and Reporter for NPR member station WUWF in Pensacola. She lives just down the road from the spot where Sir Lattimore met his fate last March. I would like to take this opportunity to thank her for producing this beautiful tribute to our friend.
