1930 - Robert Parker was born on this day. Born in New Orleans in 1930, Parker was a seasoned live and studio musician by the time he hit the charts. It wasn’t until he hooked up with NOLA Records in 1966 that he would cement his place in Soul history. Working with master New Orleans producer/arranger Wardell Quezerque, Parker would record eleven 45’s and one LP (the only LP release by the label) from 1966 to 1968. His first, ‘Barefootin’ b/w ‘Let’s Go Baby (Where the Action Is)’ (Nola 721) was a huge hit by any standard (especially in New Orleans) making it to #2 R&B and #7 pop in the summer of 1966. |
