Luther Kent was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. At age 14 Luther began singing professionally and signed with Louisiana based Montel Records. Anyone who has ever been to New Orleans, heard Luther Kent, and made a return visit to the city will immediately do the following: Get checked into their hotel - Find out if Luther is playing in town - Make plans to chow down on some good Creole food - Moan for awhile if Luther is out of town, and if he is playing ...... Party all night long until the sun comes up and tell their friends back home that they have not lived until they've heard Luther sing the blues.
