Lloyd Price

Lloyd Price (March 9, 1933 - May 3, 2021) was an American R&B and rock 'n' roll singer. He gained fame as 'Mr. Personality' after his 1959 hit song 'Personality' became a million-selling hit. Price's music career began with his hit record 'Lawdy Miss Clawdy' in 1952. While he continued to release records, it wasn't until later that he achieved a series of national hits by refining the New Orleans beat. Price was born in Kenner, Louisiana, and raised in a musical household. He had formal training on trumpet and piano, and his passion for music led him to join a combo in high school. In 1998, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
