Lloyd Price(1933-2021)


Recommended Posts

Sad news indeed- Lloyd was a sometimes overlooked figure,not only of 50's R&B and Rock n' Roll,in which he first found fame as a singer, but in Soul,too as a label owner, recording those great Wilson Pickett early 60's sides for his Double L label (jewels like It's Too Late and If You Need Me) and later in the 60's/early70's, some fine Howard Tate sides for his Turntable label. He still sung himself from time to time, eg.most notably for Soul Sourcers,his nice 'Love Music' for GSF in 73' which many of us have enjoyed dancing to over the years.

From his 50's  Specialty classics like Lawdy Miss Clawdy ( his later 50's ABC-Paramount re-cut was even better,I think) and Just Because (the UK tri London 45'  a top R n' R rarity that has long eluded me and many collectors!) to Love Music ,he had a long and varied career to be proud of.
