With Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras) being tomorrow I think we should party New Orleans style!
Shirley and Lee get us started with "Let The Good Times Roll" from 1956!
Here's the flipside of "Sea Cruise" - "Roberta" by Frankie Ford (backed by Huey "Piano" Smith and The Clowns).
New Orleans also had DooWop Groups. One of them were The Spiders and their lead singer was the deceased Chuck Carbo. Here's a clip of his appearance at the UGHA Hall of Fame show in 2002. In fact you can see my head bobbing in the audience!
The original version of "See You Later Alligator" by Swamp Pop artist, Bobby Charles from 1954.
Little Richard wasn't from New Orleans but all of his hits were recorded there.
And we can't leave New Orleans without hearing from Antoine "Fats" Domino!
