RIP Lloyd Price

[Webster]

A criminally underrated legend.

Lloyd Price, ‘Personality’ and 'Stagger Lee' Singer, Dies at 88

 

[da man]

Yes, indeed.

The night was clear
And the moon was yellow
And the leaves came
Tumbling down.

 

[UNCGrad]

God, Stagger Lee...

Huey and the News did a nice version for their covers record. I believe they included Price on that tour/performances.

So much soul. RIP.

 

[Driftwood]

Stagger Lee threw seven.
Billy swore that he threw eight.

RIP

[Mr._Graybeard]

A true rock 'n' roll pioneer, as this 1952 hit attests. Can't you tell by this one that he was from New Orleans?
