A legendary New Orleans musician has died.
WWL TV reports family members have confirmed that Clarence "Frogman" Henry died last night at the age of 87.
Henry had three top 40 hits.
In 1956, he broke onto the US pop chart with "Ain't Got No Home." It went to number 20. The song also hit number three on the US R&B chart.
Five years later in 1961, he got his first top ten single with 1961's "(I Don't Know Why) But I Do." It went to fourth on the pop charts and ninth on the R&B chart.
"You Always Hurt the One You Love" made it to number 12 pop and eleven R&B that same year.
Henry opened eighteen concerts for the Beatles across the US and Canada in 1964. He introduced Fats Domino to the Beatles.
Henry was still performing until recently. He was scheduled to play the New Orleans Jazz Fest later this month.
