Price experienced considerable success after his return to the music industry, with his song “Stagger Lee”, selling more than one million copies. At one point, Dick Clark refused to allow Price to perform on “American Bandstand” unless he reworked some of his music’s violent lyrics. Price opened a nightclub in Manhattan during the ’70s and later broke into real estate, developing townhomes in the Bronx. He released his autobiography, “The True King of the Fifties: The Lloyd Price Story”, in 2011. Price was inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998.
