B.O Plenty and Sparkle Plenty were two characters in the early Dick Tracy comic strip. What there connection to Cajun music is, I don't know. I always assumed there was a club somewhere in Louisiana named B.O. Sparkle.
That's interesting trivia about Dick Tracy! I always thought B.O. stood for the common family name Billeaud, which is pronounced B.O., but I like this Dick Tracy connection better!
I remember that place. Right by the Rainbow Bridge in Bridge City, TX. In the 50s, the original place burned down and Tiny Richardson rebuilt it as the Sparkle Paradise. Alot of famous people played there. I think Richardson was going to rebuild it after Rita but the city wanted to demolish it.
