[6] The Louisiana Music Hall of Fame's institutional history began in 1979 when, with help from Mike Shepherd, Del Moon, a Baton Rouge print and television entertainment journalist first put forward his intent to create the LMHOF.
In 2009 LMHOF facilitated pro bono an advertising endorsement agreement between Al "Carnival Time" Johnson and the Louisiana Lottery Corporation which resulted in media exposure and royalties to Johnson for use of his image, voice and signature song in a scratch ticket promotion during Mardi Gras season.
