Sorry to hear the news about Clarence 'Frogman' Henry. I love his hit song "Ain't Got No Home" [still one of the funniest hits of the '50s]. RIP "Frogman".

I didn't realize a) that he was still around or b) that he wasn't as old as I thought he'd be.

It's easy to understand not knowing Clarence was still around since he kept a low profile since his hits in the '50s and early '60s [except for his performances in New Orleans]. Also, I didn't know that he was only 19 when he recorded "Ain't Got No Home".

I also liked "I Don't Know Why I Love You But I Do."

RIP
