Louisiana's LeRoux (a.k.a. LeRoux) formed in 1978 in Baton Rouge and immediately carved out a place in Lousiana history as one of the state's greatest rock bands. Their biggest hits were "Take a Ride On a Riverboat" with its 4-part a capella intro, the smash hit "New Orleans Ladies", "Nobody Said It Was Easy (Lookin' For the Lights)", "Addicted", and "Carrie's Gone". Their music, though pop-oriented, combined many elements such as funk, R&B, Dixieland jazz, rock, and some Cajun-flavoring, thus defying a pigeonhole into one definable category like many other diverse Louisiana artists, common to an area known for its many musical influences and tastes.
