The Fabulous Boogie Kings are celebrating their fiftieth anniversary in show business. The legendary super group has toured the United States several times and has 20 CD's on the market. The Boogie Kings began as a three piece band in the fifties. After a couple of years, it had grown to six pieces and it kept right on growing until it peaked out at 12 pieces in the sixties. Three recordings were made at that time. Little did the band know at the time that these recordings would become classics and collector's items. No one knows how many albums were sold, as the band was never paid their royalties. When G.G. Shinn and Jerry "Count Jackson" Lacroix joined the band, it rose to a new level. Ned Theall churned out some magnificent arrangements, tailored especially for the sound of the band. Ned is quoted as saying, "I didn't create the horn sound, I just tightened it up!" The sixties band wowed Hollywood and Las Vegas audiences. Shortly after that, the Kings took over the East Coast in cities like New York, Miami, Washington D.C. and Boston. The band today is just as great as it ever was, still rocking the house with their unique brand of soul music from the fifties and sixties. The Boogie Kings have decided to do an 18 month tour of farewell concerts. Ned Theall has stated, "As the years roll by, it has become increasingly difficult to perform the shows as usual". The recent Gulf Coast storms have destroyed many of the familiar venues and clubs where the Kings normally perform. With the emergence of the internet, the Boogie Kings have found a world wide audience for their music. The band has a fabulous website at www.boogiekings.com, and a monthly newsletter that is mailed to more than 50 thousand fans. To date, the group has performed over 13,000 shows, a record that will never be equaled by any other group. Theall has said that the farewell concerts will afford the group the opportunity to say their goodbyes to thousands of fans that have supported the project since they were teen age kids. Ned says that the guys still perform at the top of their game. It is almost a spiritual experience to attend a Boogie Kings event. When asked why he thinks the band has lasted so long, Ned credits the die hard loyalty of their many fans. "We never had a hit record, you know. We had to build our house one brick at a time, but we built a very strong house". When asked what the band will do after the farewell concerts conclude, Ned claims, "Oh, we'll probably make another comeback!" The Boogie Kings have toured with The Righteous Brothers, Otis Redding, Fats Domino, Jerry Lee Lewis, Wilson Pickett and many others. The band mainly performs at festivals, corporate parties, casinos, and other special events. No other organized big band in Louisiana history has been on top of their game after a half century. When you see this great band in person, you will realize why they have survived the test of time.

The Boogie Kings were away from music for 22 years before making a triumphant return in 1991. Since then, they've burned up the South Louisiana circuit with a sturdy blend of modern R&B and blues-tinged material, plus surging traditional numbers. This program shows that they're better at zydeco than R&B and soul covers, at least in the studio; their versions of James Brown's "I Feel Good," Johnny Ace's "Pledging My Love" and Sam And Dave's "Hold On, I'm Comin'" don't lack earnestness or effort, but aren't exactly distinguished. Main vocalist Duane Yates seems more at ease and isn't plagued by comparisons to superior singers. The group is instrumentally quite effective; they stumble at times, but The Boogie Kings mostly acquit themselves well. ~by Ron Wynn

It has often been a standing rule of thumb that when you re record a tune that was such a big hit that it becomes a "sacred cow" and should not be redone because the cover will never live up to the original hit. The Boogie Kings broke all of the rules and re recorded all of these hit songs with the original artists and the result was a best selling South Louisiana project. Check it out and you will see for yourself. This CD has quickly become a collector's classic.

The Boogie Kings began as a three piece band in Mama Ardoin's kitchen. The three young geniuses were Doug Ardoin; founder and guitar player, Bert Miller; drummer and vocalist, and Harris Miller, guitar player. Little did they know at this time that The Boogie Kings would still be playing a half century later. They began playing for high school dances and proms. Rock ‘n roll was in its infancy and the emerging new chart toppers were Fats Domino, Little Richard and Chuck Berry. Very shortly after, the guys decided to add a bass player and a couple of horns. They added Norris Badeaux, Bryan Leger and Mark Jenkins. The band began to perform at local night clubs and developed a huge following. The popularity of the band zoomed and the band staked out a larger territory. They decided that they needed to make a recording. They were to record five or six 45rpm discs. The records began to sell very well and the band was getting very popular. They were playing four or five nights a week, even though they were still in high school. The band continued to get quite popular all over Central and South Louisiana. Their main gig was every Saturday night at the Pelican Club in Marksville, La. Skip Stewart joined the band in the late fifties. Clint West and Tommy McLain, two well known recording artist were added in the early sixties. So now the band had three outstanding vocalists and the horn section was growing. Mike Pollard was also in the group at this time. Doug Ardoin left the group to attend college and Harris Miller took over. When Doug left, the band split in two. So Harris hired Ned Theall, GG Shinn, and Dan Silas. Harris Miller left the group in 1964 and Clint West replaced him as leader. The band recorded their first LP entitled "Clint West and The Boogie Kings." Clint left the group in 1965 to form his own group and took a few of the guys with him. When Clint left, Ned Theall became leader of the group. Ned made some more changes in the group. Ned hired Jerry (Count Jackson) Lacroix, great soul singer from Texas. Jerry brought a couple of his players into the group. Dale Gauthier on sax and Gary Dorsey on bass. The band now had six horns, four rhythm players and two great vocalists that also played horns. In 1965 the band was making so much noise that their territory had expanded from Houston to Miami. The band purchased seven new tailor made tuxedos, a different color for every night of the week. The band was now playing seven nights a week on a regular basis. GG Shinn recorded a song called "The Crying Man" that was a smash hit. Soon after that, the band signed with Montel Michelle Records and recorded their classic LP, "The Boogie Kings". To top things off, the Boogie Kings were booked on a west coast tour with The Righteous Brothers. The tour included Hollywood, Las Vegas, Reno, Lake Tahoe and San Francisco. The band rolled through the West Coast like a hurricane, burning all other bands in their path. Other musicians would leave their gigs early in order to see the great cajun soul band that had everyone buzzing. The band was approached by every recording company in Hollywood, but the group was now twelve pieces, and as you very well know, twelve cajuns cannot agree on anything. The fact that the band left Hollywood without signing a major record may well be the reason why they are still together today. The internet has proven that the Kings did not need a hit record to survive. The band had some lean years in the seventies and eighties, but they continued to get together for reunion gigs, and for some reason, the band was still a force to be reckoned with. In the early nineties, the Boogie Kings came back like a freight train rolling through butter. Ned Theall had put the group back together for good this time. When the casinos began to open up in Louisiana and Mississippi, the Kings found a venue that was like a gold mine. In the mid nineties, Ned booked $100,000 in contracts with one single phone call. The great saxophone player, Jon Smith was hired as Ned's partner and the band sounded better than it ever had since the sixties. The Boogie Kings were inducted into the Louisiana Hall Of Fame in 1994. Four CD's were recorded and it looked like the group would make it to their 40th anniversary. Now it is twelve years later and the band has made it to their 52nd anniversary, a remarkable accomplishment. The band has played more than 13,000 shows, a record that will never be equaled by any band, anywhere, anytime, anyplace.
