Clarence "Frogman" Henry


Wikipedia - "Clarence 'Frogman' Henry (born March 19, 1937, Algiers, New Orleans, Louisiana) is an American rhythm and blues singer and pianist. Fats Domino and Professor Longhair were young Henry's main influences while growing up. When Henry played in talent shows, he dressed like Longhair and wore a wig with braids on both sides. His trademark croak, utilized to the maximum on his 1956 debut hit 'Ain't Got No Home,' earned Henry his nickname and jump-started a career that endures to this day. '(I Don't Know Why) But I Do' and 'You Always Hurt the One You Love', both from 1961, were his other big hits."
