Re: Belton Richard at Church Point La.

Did anyone you know captured a clip? This would be nice on YouTube?

Re: Re: Belton Richard at Church Point La.

I used to play with Belton for about 2 years and when I would use his microphone to sing I thought the mic was so loud but it wasn't the mic it was his voice! The guy has tremendous power and is one of the most powerful Cajun singers of all time!
My two favorite singers were always Belton and Phillip Alleman who sang with Aldus Roger! Phillip sang with very much emotion and feeling and his tone was one of the best in my opinion.
Actually, our scrun board player is Belton's grandson and his name is also Belton Richard!ha

Belton has an absolutely beautiful voice. Like you said, Travis, it is so powerful. I find Ivy Dugas has a voice that has the same effect. Almost like a tremolo in his singing
