Little Bob & The Lollipops – Nobody But You

Little Bob & The Lollipops – Nobody But You (1960s Louisiana Soul)

La Louisianne Records 1966 ‎– LL-113

notes:

Few records capture the raw energy of 1960s Louisiana swamp soul quite

 like Nobody But You by Little Bob and the Lollipops.

Fronted by singer Camille Bob, the group became a key act in the Gulf Coast

 R&B scene, blending New Orleans rhythm & blues, swamp pop and classic soul. 

Their recordings for the La Louisianne label in Lafayette produced some 

of the finest regional soul records of the decade.

The song Nobody But You was originally written and recorded in 1958 by 

Chicago R&B singer Dee Clark. The original version reached No. 3 on the 

U.S. R&B chart and No. 21 on the Billboard Hot 100,

 becoming one of Clark’s early hits.

When Little Bob & The Lollipops recorded their version in the mid-1960s, 

they transformed the song into a horn-driven Louisiana soul groove, 

replacing the polished Chicago R&B sound with a tougher Gulf Coast rhythm section.

Recorded at La Louisianne Recording Studios in Lafayette, the track features a 

classic R&B lineup of guitar, bass, drums and horns, delivering a direct, dance-floor 

oriented sound typical of the regional scene.

These sessions also produced the band’s cult classic “I Got Loaded,” which later

 became Little Bob’s signature song and inspired numerous covers 

by artists from blues and roots scenes.
