Chanteur et accordéoniste US né le 25
Juin 1925 à Apelousas
(Louisiane). Clifton Chenier est décédé le 12 Décembre 1987 à Lafayette
(Louisiane).
The
undisputed "King of Zydeco," Clifton Chenier was the first Creole to be
presented a Grammy award on national television. Blending the French and Cajun
2-steps and waltzes of southwest Louisiana with New Orleans R&B, Texas blues,
and big-band jazz, Chenier created the modern, dance-inspiring, sounds of
zydeco. A flamboyant personality, remembered for his gold tooth and the cape and
crown that he wore during concerts, Chenier set the standard for all the zydeco
players who have followed in his footsteps. In an interview from Ann Savoy's
book, Cajun Music: Reflection of a People, Chenier explained, "Zydeco is rock
and French mixed together, you know, like French music and rock with a beat to
it. It's the same thing as rock and roll but it's different because I'm singing
in French." The son of sharecropper and amateur accordion player, Joe Chenier,
and the nephew of a guitarist, fiddler, and dance club owner, Maurice "Big"
Chenier, Chenier found his earliest influences in the blues of Muddy Waters,
Peetie Wheatstraw, and Lightnin' Hopkins, the New Orleans R&B of
Fats Domino and Professor Longhair, the
1920s and '30s recordings by zydeco accordionist Amede Ardoin and the playing of
childhood friends Claude Faulk and Jesse and Zozo Reynolds. Acquiring his first
accordion from a neighbor, Isaie "Easy" Blasa in 1947, Chenier was taught the
basics of the instruments by his father. By 1944, Chenier was performing, with
his brother Cleveland on frottoir (rub-board) in the dance halls of Lake
Charles.
Moving to New Iberia in the mid-'40s, Chenier worked in the sugar fields cutting
sugar cane. After moving, to Port Arthur, TX, in 1947, he divided his time
between driving a refinery truck and hauling pipe for Gulf and Texaco and
playing with his brother. In 1954, Chenier signed with Elko Records. His first
recording session, at Lake Charles radio station KAOK, yielded seven tunes
including the regional hit single, "Cliston's Blues" and "Louisiana Stomp."
Chenier's first national attention came with his first single for the Specialty
record label, "Ay Tete Fille (Hey, Little Girl)," a cover of a Professor
Longhair tune, released in May 1955. The song was one of 12 that he recorded
during two sessions produced by Bumps Blackwell, best known for his work with
Little Richard. By 1956, Chenier had
left his day job to devote his full-time attention to music, Touring with his
band, the Zydeco Ramblers, which included blues guitarist Philip Walker. The
following year, Chenier left Specialty and signed with the Chess label in
Chicago. Although he toured, along with Etta James, throughout the United
States, Chenier's career suffered when the popularity of ethnic and regional
music styles began to decline. Although he recorded 13 songs for the Crowley,
LA-based Zynn label, between 1958 and 1960, none charted.
The turning point in Chenier's career came when Lightnin' Hopkins' wife, who was
a cousin, introduced Chris Strachwitz, owner of the roots music label, Arhoolie,
to his early recordings. Strachwitz quickly signed Chenier to Arhoolie,
producing his first single, "Ay Yi Yi"/"Why Did You Go Last Night?," in four
years. Although they continued to work together until the early '70s, Chenier
and Strachwitz differed artistically. While Chenier wanted to record commercial-minded
R&B, Strachwitz encouraged him to focus on traditional zydeco. Chenier's first
album for Arhoolie, Louisiana Blues and Zydeco, featured one side of
blues and R&B and one side of French 2-steps and waltzes.
In 1976, Chenier recorded one of his best albums, Bogalusa Boogie, and
formed a new group, the Red Hot Louisiana Band, featuring tenor saxophonist
"Blind" John Hart and guitarist Paul Senegal.
Chenier reached the peak of his popularity in the '80s. In 1983, he received a
Grammy award for his album, I'm Here!, recorded in eight hours in
Bogalusa, LA. The following year, he performed at the White House. Although he
suffered from kidney disease and a partially amputated foot and was required to
undergo dialysis treatment every three days, Chenier continued to perform until
one week before his death on December 12, 1987. Following his death, his son,
C.J. Chenier, took over leadership of the Red Hot Louisiana Band.
A documentary video of Chenier's performances at the San Francisco Blues
Festival, the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, and on Louisiana
television was released by Arhoolie.
