The Hawketts
The Hawketts were an American R&B combo from New Orleans, Louisiana who are best known for their 1954 recording of "Mardi Gras Mambo", a song that has become an iconic classic of the New Orleans Carnival celebration.
The band's members hailed from the African American community in New Orleans, Louisiana, and were all teenagers when they recorded the 1954 song written by Frankie Adams, Ken Elliot and Lou Welsh. Their membership consisted of Art Neville on lead vocals and piano, who was only sixteen years old at the time of the recording, and would later gain fame in the Meters and the Neville Brothers, George Davis on alto sax, Alfred August on guitar, Israel Bell on trumpet, August Fleuri on trumpet, Carroll Joseph on trombone, Morris Bechamin on tenor sax, and John Boudreaux on drums. The band had no bass player. According to drummer John Boudreax, "We didn't know that a band was supposed to have a bass player." The song they recorded reflects rhumba and Caribbean influences in early New Orleans R&B.

One Way Wind
by: The CatsYou said some winds blow forever
and didn't understand
but you saw my eye's where asking
an smiling you took my hand
so we walked along the seaside
when treace grow just one way
finding our one direction
that a wind blow's day after day.
(Refrain)
One way wind, one way wind
are trying to grow my mind
One way wind, one way wind
if she heard that i hope to find
I will blow the coals everyday
tell me what are you try to say.
Now I don't know how about you
but maybe I never will
but I do now every word out.
I talking it from the hill
And when ever I will see you
oh maybe one more time
I'm sure I'll get the answer
that a wind has still mine.
(Refrain)
