Music Legend Dies

Sept. 15th 2012 NEW ORLEANS - James "Sugar Boy" Crawford, the New Orleans rhythm and blues artist whose 1954 hit "Jock-A-Mo" became a local Carnival classic, has died. He was 77. Crawford recorded "Jock-A-Mo," based on Mardi Gras Indian chants, in 1954. It was later recreated as "Iko Iko," and recorded by The Dixie Cups, Dr. John, The Grateful Dead and Cyndi Lauper, becoming a New Orleans classic known worldwide. A New Orleans native, Crawford picked up the name "Sugar Boy," because he was a sweet kid, he told Offbeat Magazine's Jeff Hannusch.

Methodology

We use a variety of sources to determine a "best guess" issue date for a particular record if the authoritative sources do not list a particular record, or record label. Sometimes the issue date we publish online may be determined by looking at other records in a label catalogue, then taking a "best guess." Rarely, we determine an issue date by looking at information at auction sites, or from other people who may have been involved with production. Often the issue date is ahead of the popularity charts by several months, so what you see on sites that publish chart information may not match the data published here.
