Notes
For a brief moment in the early ’60s, Louisiana swamp pop singer Rod Bernard’s tune “This Should Go on Forever” was so enormous that he was featured on American Bandstand, the only artist from that specific geographic region, playing that style of music, to ever appear on that TV show. Trivia aside, Bernard’s R&B/Cajun hybrid still holds up and is revisited on this Essential Collection, and includes two New Orleans R&B standards, traditional Cajun tunes, and Bernard’s biggest hits “Just One More Chance” and “This Should Go on Forever.” Released in 1997, 22 tracks.
