[2] He would later be known as the first person to write the tune "Grand Texas" which would later be popularized by Moon Mullican and Hank Williams as the song Jambalaya.

By 1932, at age of 12, he learned to read music and play the fiddle and became good friends with Joe Falcon and Cleoma Breaux.

In 1934, he formed the Daylight Creepers band along with guitarist Bill Redlich and fiddler Erby Thibodeaux.

While in the band, he would meet Horace Andrus "Uncle Ambrose" Thibodeaux, Leroy "Happy Fats" Leblanc, Oran Guidry and Harry Choates.

[6] By December 1937, Lamperez would be back in Dallas, this time with Leo Soileau's Rhythm Boys and in 1938,[7] he recorded again with Joe in New Orleans.

Jealous of Hank Williams' success with "Jamabalaya" in 1952, he claimed the song was stolen from his "Grand Texas" melody and refused to record again.
