Clarence "Frogman" Henry

Clarence Frogman HenryClarence "Frogman" Henry ... born im New Orleans, has an expressive voice with a monstrous range - and the bottom end gave birth to his sobriquet. Influenced by Fats Domino, in 1956 Henry wrote and recorded a huge smash, "Ain't Got No Home," which remains his biggest hit ... He worked for years playing clubs on Bourbon Street before 1964 when ... he opened a string of dates for The Beatles. (Rick Koster, Louisiana Music p. 119)
