George Louis Pride was born on 25th May, 1950 in Chicago, Illinois. In the late 1960’s, he spent two years on US army bases in Germany, where he joined a group called The Karls. Returning to Chicago, he formed a Sam & Dave style duet with a friend called LC, called LC & Lou. Lou’s manager Jim Dorman later persuaded Lou to start a solo career, moving to El Paso, Texas. Lou met Kenny Smith, who decided to sign Lou to Suemi Records (taken from: “If you don’t like it, sue me!”), which he co-owned with Bill ‘Sparks’ Taylor. Lou continued to record for various small labels. Lou sadly died on 06th May 2012. This disc is in EXCELLENT condition, worth checking the flip too
