| Summary: | Singer Lloyd Price was born on March 9, 1933 in Kenner, Louisiana. As a child, Price played trumpet and piano and sang in his church's gospel choir. When he was nineteen years old, his classic eight-bar blues song, Lawdy Miss Clawdy, became a number one hit on Specialty Records in 1952, and was named R&B Record of the Year. It became one of the most re-recorded songs in music history. In the late 1950s, Price recorded a series of chart-topping R&B-pop crossover hits on ABC-Paramount Records, including Just Because, Personality, and Stagger Lee. In the 1970s, Price founded the Turntable nightclub and recording label in New York, but moved to Nigeria when his business partner Harold Logan was murdered. He promoted Muhammad Ali's Rumble in the Jungle and produced the Zaire 74 music festival in Kinshasa. Price was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.
