My God, with a name like the Mother-in-Law Lounge, who knows what kind of demonic hauntings we may be dealing with! Full blown possessions, physical attacks and the spewing of pea soup are sure to be going on in this imp-filled establishment! Fortunately, my sarcasm and lame jokes are simply just that, as the next location gets its name from a song and not the vengeful wrath of a wife's mother. Please allow me to take a brief moment and give you a useful word of advice: Behind every successful man, lies an amazed mother-in-law!
Our story begins with a famous New Orleans R&B singer by the name of Ernest Kador, Jr., also known by his stage name Ernie K-Doe. He started his singing career in his church choir and went on to sing with such spiritual groups as the Golden Choir Jubilees of New Orleans and the Divine Traveler. At the early age of fifteen, his talent was noticed by the manager of the famous Flamingos and his career would soon take off. After working with several musicians such as Joe Tex, he became a member of the group the Blue Diamonds in 1954 before making his first solo recordings the following year.
