Louisiana Today

fact
2004 - Early rock 'n' roller Joe Barry passed away on this day. A Cajun from southern Louisiana, he began recording locally in 1958. In 1961, his second single for Jin Records, "I'm a Fool to Care," was picked up nationally by Mercury Records' Smash subsidiary, and peaked in the pop Top 40, also reaching the R&B charts, and even charting in the U.K.
