Lloyd Price, a New Orleans mainstay and Rock and Roll Hall of Famer, has died
Featuring Domino’s trademark piano trills, “Lawdy Miss Clawdy” hit No. 1 on the R&B charts in 1952, sold more than 1 million copies and became a rock standard, covered by Elvis Presley and Little Richard among others. But Price would have mixed feelings about the song’s broad appeal, later remembering how local officials in what was still the Jim Crow South resisted letting both blacks and whites attend his shows. Price was drafted and spent the mid-1950s in military service in Korea.
