He was a singer and trombonist and wrote the classic "Jock-A-Mo" in 1954, which was later covered as "Iko Iko" by The Dixie Cups, Dr. John, Belle Stars, The Grateful Dead and Cyndi Lauper. He formed a band which local DJ Doctor Daddy-O named "The Chapaka Shawee", the title of an instrumental they played. The group was re-named "Sugar Boy and his Cane Cutters".
