Another Lonely Night: Belton Richard and "Un Autre Soir d'Ennui"

Today's random song is by Louisiana Cajun legend Belton Richard, an accordionist and singer who passed away in 2017. A member of the Cajun French Music Association's Hall of Fame, Belton Richard started playing accordion at age seven and was playing in his first band at age 12. He played a little pop and swamp rock, and then started his own band The Musical Aces in 1959. He was especially known for his range as a baritone. This song, Un Autre Soir d'Ennui, is one of his most famous, and can be found on 1994's The Essential Belton Richard Cajun Music Collection.
