Lloyd Price

With his pioneering 1952 hit "Lawdy Miss Clawdy," Lloyd Price broke down musical and social barriers alike. It was one of the first R&B blockbusters to attract serious interest from white teenagers as well. Over the course of the 1950s the New Orleans native with the wide, sunny smile devised a pop-accessible approach that earned him broad crossover stardom into the 1960s.

Together with Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson, Clyde McPhatter and Brook Benton, Price was part of the first wave of R&B singers to crack the pop charts on a consistent basis in the late 1950s. On June 28, 1959, he appeared on Ed Sullivan's popular television show to sing his hit "Personality." As early as 1957 he had launched his own KRC label, a revolutionary move for a black performer not yet 25.

He was born on March 5, 1933, into a large family near New Orleans and grew up in a devout Baptist household. His mother ran a small food store with a jukebox stocked with jump blues records; little Lloyd would sing and dance along as the patrons tipped him coins. Louis Jordan was his great idol.

WBOK deejay James 'Okey Dokey' Smith and, above all, bandleader Dave Bartholomew took notice of the young singer. Bartholomew introduced him to Art Rupe of Specialty Records, and at Cosimo Matassa's studio, with musicians such as Fats Domino on piano, "Lawdy Miss Clawdy" was cut, the beginning of a great career.
