Grandpa Elliot On The Streets Before Death | Try Not To Cry 😭 😭

Grandpa Elliot Last Moments On The Streets Before Death | Try Not To Cry
Born on July 10, 1944, Grandpa Elliott Small,
who is known as Uncle Remus too, is a veteran street-musician in New Orleans, Louisiana, United States. Mr. Elliotts played the harmonica besides singing.
Grandpa Elliott was considered to be a street icon in New Orleans. Mr. Small made his way to become a soul singer in local clubs as a young man, who later recorded singles with arranger Wardell Quezergue.
Some of the records are available on Malaco and Tuff City Records compilations of New Orleans funk. His family relocated to New York City, where he took his first steps as a professional entertainer in the early ’60s.
Once again in between regular gigs, he was able to play on the streets, such as a role in a stage revival of Show Boat. It later leads the Louisiana vocal group The Dixie Cups to go up to New York.
Mr. Elliott had become dissatisfied with life in New York by the ’80s, which was considered to be the grueling schedule of performing in local clubs and on the road, and the music business in general at that time.
According to sources, bad decisions, as well as unfair contracts, had soured him in the industry. It’s said that he signed away the rights to one of his songs when the sight in his good eye started to go and everything got fuzzy.
He commented: “It was to a guy I had taken a liking to, a guy I trusted.” After a while, he moved back to New Orleans for taking his music to the streets, where it would belong only to him and to the passersby who heard it.
Rest in power King
