Thomas Dale Rapp (March 8, 1947 – February 11, 2018) was an American singer and songwriter who led Pearls Before Swine, an influential[1] psychedelic folk rock group of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Described as having "a slight lisp, gentle voice and apocalyptic vision",[2] he also released four albums under his own name. He later practiced as a lawyer after graduating from University of Pennsylvania Law School in 1984.
