Born July 14th, 1938 in Medina Ohio, Louis Terence Josie is a son of a steel worker. His mother was a Lou Josiehomemaker and loved country music.

Lou spent a lot of his younger years listening to Alan Freed on WJW out of Cleveland, Ohio. Lou also was privleged to see Elvis Presley perform live in Cleveland. Those early experiences along with his mother's radio convinced Lou that he was going to be a singer songwriter.

Lou Trio

Lou became a resident session guitartist at Cleveland's Audio Recording Studio, allowing him to record songs that he was writing, and producing such singles as "Why Did You Leave Me" and " Some One Else Instead".

Argo and Chess record labels produced some of Lou's earlier recordings such as "Breezin' Out" and "Time's A Wastin'". The sleeping giant of that time was the song "Vacation's Over" which did not come available until 1978.BMIR Light
