Very few people in this world live even after they are gone. They leave their imprints for others to follow. Clifton Chenier was one such artist. That is why even today after 15 years of his death; he is still a celebrated artist. His legacy is one of the greatest influences on the Rock music. It is being well carried out by his son Clifton Chenier Jr. Multitude of followers prey on concert tickets espousing the special rock created by the father and added due credentials by the son.
Chenier was the unsurpassed performer of zydeco music, a combination of Cajun and Creole music with R&B, jazz, and blues influences. A colorful personality, shinning gold tooth and the cap and crown that he wore during concerts, distinguished Chenier from others. He became so popular in such a short time and set the standard for all the zydeco players to follow in his footsteps. Chenier himself explained his music style Zydeco as a blend of rock and French. In 1954, he signed with Elko Records and his first recording included seven tunes. Two singles among these became regional hits, "Cliston's Blues" and "Louisiana Stomp." Soon Chenier was to be a national hero. His illustrious career began in 1954, when he released "Clifton's Blues" that was a regional hit. "Ay 'Tite Fille (Hey, Little Girl)"soon followed it, which received normal success. Chenier toured widely in his entire career and added on the number of his followers wherever he went.For some time few of his releases did not do that well at the box office. He recorded thirteen songs between 1958 and 1960.
