fact
1996 - Jesse Hill, a New Orleans native singer and songwriter passed away on this day at the age of 63. He's best remembered by his 1960 hit "Ooh Poo Pah Doo". He began as a drummer, and formed his own band called the House Rockers. A reformed version allowed him to front the band as singer. "Ooh Poo Pah Doo" sold 800,000 copies and went as high as #5 in the R&B charts. Hill moved to California and worked with Harold Battiste and Mac Mac Rebennack, before returning to New Orleans in 1977.
