In early 1965, the band released its first self-titled album on the Jin label and recorded at Floyd Soileau's studio in Ville Platte, Louisiana.
During this time, the band was provided leadership from front man Clint West (born Clinton Joseph Guillory in Ville Platte on August 11, 1938).
[citation needed] A new album was recorded in New Orleans at Cosimo Matassa's studio under the production of Baton Rouge's Sam Montel, which was released in the late summer of 1965.
This combined with a hitherto unseen stage performance not generally seen in southern Louisiana and Southeast Texas gave the band a stature and popularity new to the region.
Meanwhile, lawsuits were settled that resulted in the prohibition of Clint West using the name "Boogie Kings", though he had earlier released an album on Soileau's Jin label, Live at the Purple Peacock.
Although consisting mostly of cover material, the album featured a single, "Philly Walk", written by Ned Theall, which achieved respectable regional success, no mean thing in the face of the so-called "British Invasion."
A live album had been recorded at Galveston's Bamboo Hut but, by the time this was released, Jerry was briefly with the Soul Counts, before joining G.G.
The Boogie Kings, organized as loose co-operative, voted to replace Ned Theall while in Los Angeles in 1967.
Ned organized a group featuring Duane Yates on vocals, Jon Smith on sax, and Bobby Ramirez on drums.
These vocalists included Rosemary Clark, Buddy Wright, Little Alfred Babineaux, James Anderson, and Johnny Giordano, to name just a few.
This album was recorded in 2009, with Ned Theall leading the band and featuring Parker James and Greg Martinez on vocals.
