'''Lloyd Price''' (March 9, 1933{{spnd}}May 3, 2021) was an American R&B and rock 'n' roll singer, known as "Mr. Personality",<ref name= visits>{{cite web| url=  https://www.wwoz.org/comment/481 |title= Lloyd Price Visits Billy Delle on Records from the Crypt| first= Mike |last= Kobrin| date= October 19, 2010 |website= [[WWOZ]].org |access-date= January 14, 2021}}</ref> after his 1959 million-selling hit, "[[Personality (Lloyd Price song)|Personality]]". His first recording, "[[Lawdy Miss Clawdy]]", was a hit for [[Specialty Records]] in 1952. He continued to release [[gramophone record|records]], but none were as popular until several years later, when he refined the New Orleans beat and achieved a series of national hits.<ref name="roll">{{cite book| editor1 = DeCurtis, Anthony| editor2 = Henke, James| year = 1980| title = The Rolling Stone Illustrated History of Rock and Roll: The Definitive History of the Most Important Artists and Their Music| url = https://archive.org/details/rollingstoneillu00decu| url-access = limited| edition = 3rd| publisher = Random House| location = New York| pages = [https://archive.org/details/rollingstoneillu00decu/page/40 40]–41

== Early life, family and education ==
Price was born on March 9, 1933,<ref name=nytobit>{{Cite news|last=Coscarelli|first=Joe|date=May 8, 2021|title=Lloyd Price, 'Personality' Hitmaker, Is Dead at 88|language=en-US|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2021/05/08/arts/music/lloyd-price-personality-hitmaker-is-dead-at-88.html|access-date=May 9, 2021|issn=0362-4331}}</ref> in [[Kenner, Louisiana]], a suburb of [[New Orleans]], and raised in Kenner.<ref name= visits /> His mother, Beatrice Price, owned the Fish 'n' Fry Restaurant.<ref name= louder>{{cite web| url= https://www.loudersound.com/features/how-lloyd-price-changed-the-world| title= How Lloyd Price changed the world| first= Alice |last= Clarke | date= January 15, 2016 | access-date= January 14, 2021}}</ref> Price picked up lifelong interests in business and food from her. He and his younger brother Leo<ref name= louder /> were both musical.

He had formal training on trumpet and piano, sang in his church's gospel choir, and was a member of a [[musical ensemble|combo]] in high school.

== Career ==
[[Art Rupe]], the owner of [[Specialty Records]], based in Los Angeles, came to New Orleans in 1952 to record the distinctive style of rhythm and blues developing there, which had been highly successful for his competitor [[Imperial Records]]. Rupe heard Price's song "[[Lawdy Miss Clawdy]]" and wanted to record it. Because Price did not have a band,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.angelfire.com/mn/coasters/more2.html |title=The Great R&B Pioneers – part 2 | website= Angelfire.com |access-date=April 23, 2012}}</ref> Rupe hired [[Dave Bartholomew]] to create the arrangements and Bartholomew's band (plus [[Fats Domino]] on piano) to back Price in the recording session. The song was a massive hit, selling over one million copies and earning Price his first [[Music recording certification|gold disc]].<ref name="The Book of Golden Discs 2">{{cite book

}}</ref>  His next release, "Oooh, Oooh, Oooh", cut at the same session, was a much smaller hit. Price continued making recordings for Specialty, but none of them reached the charts at that time.

In 1954, he was [[conscription|drafted]] into the US Army<ref name= louder /> and sent to [[Korea]]. When he returned he found he had been replaced by [[Little Richard]].<ref name="first">{{cite book| last1=Dawson |first1=Jim |author-link1=Jim Dawson| last2=Propes |first2=Steve |author-link2=Steve Propes | year = 1992| title = What Was the First Rock 'n' Roll Record?| publisher = Faber & Faber| location = Boston and London| pages = 108–111| isbn = 0-571-12939-0 }}</ref> In addition, his former chauffeur, [[Larry Williams]], was also recording for the label, having released "[[Short Fat Fannie]]".

He eventually formed KRC Records with Harold Logan and Bill Boskent. Their first single, "Just Because", was picked up for distribution by [[ABC Records]]. From 1957 to 1959, Price recorded a series of national hits for ABC that successfully adapted the New Orleans sound, including "[[Stagger Lee]]" (which topped the [[popular music|Pop]] and [[Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs|R&B]] [[record chart|charts]] and sold over a million copies),<ref name= louder /> "[[Personality (Lloyd Price song)|Personality]]"<ref name=pc17>{{Gilliland |url= https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc19767/m1/ |title=Show 17 – The Soul Reformation: More on the Evolution of Rhythm and Blues.

The personnel on the original hit recording of "Stagger Lee" included Clarence Johnson on piano, John Patton on bass, Charles McClendon and Eddie Saunders on tenor sax, Ted Curson on trumpet and Sticks Simpkins on drums.{{citation needed|date=March 2024}}

In 1962, Price along with business partner Harold Logan formed Double L Records.<ref name= louder /> [[Wilson Pickett]] got his start on this label. In 1967, Price and Logan acquired the site that had formerly been the fabled jazz club [[Birdland (New York jazz club)|Birdland]], at 1678 Broadway in New York City, and they opened a new club called The Turntable. In 1969, Logan was murdered in the office connected to the club. Price then founded a new label, Turntable.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.www.musicianguide.com/biographies/1608002347/Lloyd-Price.html |title= Lloyd Price | website= musicianguide.com |access-date=November 11, 2007 |url-status=dead |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20080117115429/http://www.musicianguide.com/biographies/1608002347/Lloyd-Price.html |archive-date=January 17, 2008 }}</ref><ref name= louder />
