Clarence "Frogman" Henry was born in New Orleans in 1937. He earned his nickname "Frogman" when he improvised what would become his trademark croak for Ain't Got No Home. The A&R man for Chess Records, Paul Gayten, heard it and had Clarence record it in the same style. Upon release it became a big hit and jump-started his career.
