Lawrence Nelson (Prince La La) was born in New Orleans, Louisiana 1936. His father was noted jazz and R&B guitarist Walter Nelson, who played with Smiley Lewis. His elder brother was Walter Nelson who played with Fats Domino and Professor Longhair, as well as working as a session musician for producer Dave Bartholomew. Lawrence Nelson started as a song writer and in 1961 penned “She put the hurt on me” for singer Barbara George. Producer Harold Battiste decided to record the song on Nelson instead.

Prince La La died in New Orleans allegedly of a drug overdose on 27 October 1963, but there were questions and his death was the subject of the song “Who Shot The La La” by Oliver Morgan (1964).

“She put the hurt on me” (AFO 45-301, September 1961) by Prince La La was released on Ensign Sue EP ENS 4 “The Sue Soul Brothers” in 1983. This track also features on a London American label LP HAC 8239 “The Sue Story Vol. 1” which is different to the Sue Story LPs issued by UK Sue, and which was issued in 1965.

Chart position: US R&B No. 14, 1961.
