Jimmy Clanton was born September 2, 1938 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and became known as the "swamp pop R&B teenage idol"
One of the few white singers to come out of the New Orleans R&B/rock & roll sound, he rode the crest of the popular teen music wave and released, "Venus in Blue Jeans" in September 1962.
As always I look forward to your comments and feedback and if you have any ideas send them to me.
KLOD Radio is a parody of the AM radio stations I listened to while growing up in the PNW. Before you ask why didn't I listen to FM the answer is, IT DID NOT EXIST YET!
Here you will find spoken word, novelty music, cartoon music, parody advertising, humor and some original work all inside the framework of an AM radio station circa 1965.
One segment of KLOD Radio is, "Then And Now." which is based on a simple idea.
Start with a hit song performed by the original artist and about half way through the song shifts to the same song, same artist on about the same note but at least 35 years later. 35 years is the minimum. I prefer to have the time between, "Then," and "Now" to be fifty (50) years.
