| 2015 - Big chief of the Wild Magnolia Mardi Gras Indian Tribe and a native of New Orleans, Louisiana passed away on this day at the age of 71. In 1957 he masked for the first time with The Golden Arrows, not telling his family of his involvement with the Indians. He is one of the most popular Indian Chiefs in New Orleans, with everybody wanting to see him in his hand-crafted suit on Mardi Gras or St. Joseph's Day. Bo has been a legend almost from the beginning, because he could improvise well and sing with a sweet voice, but rough with an edge. In 1975, Dollis and Monk Boudreaux, Chief of the Golden Eagles, recorded James "Sugarboy" Crawford's 1954 R&B hit "Jackomo, Jackomo." In 1970, they appeared at the first New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. Shortly afterwards, they collaborated on the classic Mardi Gras song "Handa Wanda." The Wild Magnolias and The Golden Eagles have taken Bo Dollis and Monk Boudreaux from the ghettos and brought them to places like Carnegie Hall in New York City, the Smithsonian Folklife Festival in Washington, DC, London, Nice and Berlin. |
