2011 - Benny Spellman passed away on this day. He was a legendary New Orleans rhythm and blues singer, even though he wasn't from the city. His music is synonymous with the city and he left an indelible mark on the local music scene with his sweet baritone voice. He worked and collaborated with other local giants of New Orleans music, Allen Toussaint and Ernie K-Doe, recording during the golden age of rhythm and blues in New Orleans. He scored hits scored in 1962 with “Lipstick Traces (On a Cigarette)/Fortune Teller.” He was a regular performer at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, immortalized on Tipitina’s Walk of Fame and a member of the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame. |
