2005
Southern Soul & Blues singer Jacqueline "Jazzy Jackie" Neal was murdered by her ex-boyfriend James White on March 10, 2005 in the "T-Nails" beauty salon on Florida Boulevard in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. She was the daughter of internationally known Baton Rouge blues man Raful Neal. Eight of her ten siblings also were blues musicians. She made her debut with her 1995 album, "The Blues Won't Let You Go." Her 2004 CD, "Down in Da Club," was a regional hit in the United States. She was best known for her hit "Right Thang, Wrong Man". Her last single was "The Way We Roll". Jackie Neal is buried at Roselawn Memorial Park and Mausoleum in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

    Toggle Content What is Zydeco?
    Zydeco Music is a unique form of musical expression that originated in rural southwest Louisiana. Locally known as "la la" music, Zydeco music was formed and forged in a time best forgotten--a time when African-Americans had to struggle in the fields from sunup to sundown as sharecroppers so that their children might reap a better life.

    It was these backbreaking hard times that help to define one of the most vibrant and successful musical traditions in the world. The phrase "Zydeco sont pas sale'" means "The snapbeans are not Salty" in Creole French, and the music draws upon French, Creole, West African, Cajun, Caribbean, and R & B musical traditions. Zydeco Music is characterized by the use of the accordion, spoons, scrubboard, fiddle and triangle.

She made her debut with her 1995 album, "The Blues Won't Let You Go." Her 2004 CD, "Down in Da Club," was a regional hit in the United States. She was best known for her hit "Right Thang, Wrong Man". Her last single was "The Way We Roll". Jackie Neal is buried at Roselawn Memorial Park and Mausoleum in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
