Lloyd Price was a 19-year old DJ at a New Orleans radio station in 1952 where he wrote ad copy and occasionally composed his own jingles. One of his catch phrases was "Lawdy, Miss Clawdy!" which turned into his first record, becoming #1 on the national R&B charts. Fats Domino played on that session. It set the standard for all the New Orleans rock and roll that came later, and has been covered countless times by everyone from Elvis to the Replacements. Here's the Buckinghams version.
