Sir Lattimore Brown (August 20, 1931 – March 25, 2011) was an American southern soul singer. A regular on the Chitlin' Circuit from the early 1960s, Brown performed with Fats Domino, Ray Charles, Otis Redding, Etta James, Jackie Wilson and Muddy Waters, but later faded into obscurity with several publications believing he had died in the 1980s. In his obituary, the Daily Telegraph labelled Brown 'soul music's unluckiest man', due to the many personal tragedies he experienced though his life.
