- The band named “Leroux” formed in Baton Rouge
Did not know this. Always thought they were from New Orleans. They were on the bill for my first concert: Leroux, Ozzy, Loverboy, and Foreigner.

First rapper to buy a home in CCLA - and then sell it when his membership application to the club was declined.

So a dude from New York should be treated like the king of Baton Rouge why???
Because he moved to Baton Rouge when he was a little boy and was influenced by Louisiana music?

How has no one mentioned Slim Harpo? He was technically born across the river by Lobdell but he's most definitely a Baton Rouge guy. My dad saw him dozens of times around town in the 60s.
quote:
Baton Rouge guitarist, singer, and harmonica player James “Slim Harpo” Moore, one of the last traditional blues musicians to achieve pop success,was an important influence on many 1960s rock bands. His early recordings, often dubbed “swamp blues,” were made for the Excello Records label with famed producer Jay D. Miller. Of the swamp blues musicians Miller recorded in his Crowley studio, Moore was the most successful. His warm, laconic vocals and laid-back yet insistent rhythms characterized hit songs ranging from the blues of “I’m a King Bee” to the ballad “Rainin’ in My Heart” to the early funk of “Baby, Scratch My Back” to “Bobby Sox Baby,” Moore’s attempt to cash in on the rock and roll (rock ‘n’ roll) craze.
