Ernie K-Doe Ernie K-Doe Vol. 2 – Funk / Soul, Rhythm & Blues ( Rare Vinyl)

In the 1980s, K-Doe didradioshows on the New Orleans community stationsWWOZ[2]andWTUL. The shows were known for his explosively energetic announcements and frequent self-promotion (occasionally causing problems for the noncommercial station). K-Doe’s catch phrases included “Burn, K-Doe, Burn!”, “I’m aCharity HospitalBaby!” and (addressed to himself) “You just good, that’s all!” For a time he billed himself as “Mister Naugahyde”, until he was ordered to desist by the owners of theNaugahydetrademark. K-Doe then explained that it was a misunderstanding; he was actually referring to himself as “Mister M-Nauga-Ma-Hyde”, a word he invented himself.

In the 1990s, K-Doe began billing himself as “The Emperor of the Universe” and, wearing a cape and crown, became a famous localeccentricin New Orleans. He continued performing and occasionally recording until shortly before his death. Always an elaborate showman, one of K-Doe’s most notable later performances was at theAquarium of the Americas, in New Orleans, where he performed at a benefit for a local group aiding people with disabilities. The show ended with K-Doe performing seven continuous renditions of “Mother In Law” while dancing in front of theGulf of Mexicoshark tank exhibit dressed in a green plumed cape.

Later recordings of note include “White Boy, Black Boy”. While best known as a singer, he was also an accomplisheddrummer. The song “Here Come the Girls” was released in 1970 in the UK, but was not a hit. It was re-released in 2007 as a result of its use in an advertising campaign for Boots stores and reached number 43. A cover by theSugababesreached number 3 on the UK charts in 2008.
