about
The Boogie Kings (aka The Fabulous Boogie Kings) is an American Cajun swamp pop and blue-eyed soul group formed in Eunice, Louisiana, in 1955 by teenagers Doug Ardoin, Skip Morris, Bert Miller and Harris Miller. In the mid-1960s, the band expanded to include Ned Theall, a trumpeter from Abbeville, who became the group's leader. Because of Theall, and his musical arrangement skills, the band changed its style of music from swamp pop, to a more successful, blue-eyed soul sound of music. In early 1965, the band released its first self-titled album on the Jin label. The group called it quits in 1972–73. The first of many "reunions", organized by Theall, began in 1974. In 2010, the band, and Ned Theall himself, were inducted into The Louisiana Music Hall Of Fame.
