Huey 'Piano' Smith -nacido en Nueva Orleans, Luisiana, el 26 de enero de 1934- fue un pianista de R&B cuyo trabajo en la década de 1950 dejó una huella significativa en el desarrollo del rock and roll. Escribió su primera canción, "Robertson Street Boogie", al piano con sólo ocho años, y a los 15 empezó a trabajar en clubes y a grabar junto a Eddie Jones (más tarde conocido como Guitar Slim). Gracias a sus actuaciones como acompañante de Jones y Earl King, Huey "Piano" Smith se convirtió en un solicitado pianista de sesión y apareció en temas de artistas de la talla de Little Richard, Smiley Lewis y Lloyd Price. A mediados de la década de 1950, ya dirigía su propia banda, The Clowns, liderada por Bobby Marchan. Su grupo consiguió un contrato con Ace y cosechó varios éxitos en las listas de Billboard, entre los que destaca "Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu", que superó el millón de ventas y se convirtió en disco de oro. La banda tuvo su mayor éxito en 1958 con la doble cara A "Don't You Just Know It" b/w "High Blood Pressure", alcanzando el Top 5 de R&B y el Top 10 nacional. En 1959 publicó su único álbum propiamente dicho, Having a Good Time with Huey 'Piano' Smith and His Clowns. Escribió y grabó la canción "Sea Cruise" con His Clowns, pero luego utilizó la misma pista de acompañamiento e incorporó a Frankie Ford como voz principal. La versión de Ford de la canción fue un éxito, alcanzando el número 14 en la lista Hot 100 Singles de Billboard. Huey 'Piano' Smith pasó brevemente a Imperial antes de volver a Ace para un último sencillo, "Pop Eye", de 1962 Siguió grabando y haciendo giras durante los años 60, tanto con The Clowns como con The Hueys and The Pitter Pats, pero nunca volvió a entrar en las listas de éxitos. Finalmente se hizo Testigo de Jehová y abandonó la industria, aunque en 2000 recibió el premio Pioneer de la Rhythm and Blues Foundation. Su legado discográfico se ha reeditado varias veces en recopilaciones a lo largo de los años, como Rockin' Pneumonia and the Boogie Woogie Flu (1965), This Is... Huey 'Piano' Smith (1998) y Don't You Just Know It: The Very Best of 1956-1962 Singles As & Bs (2016). Huey 'Piano' Smith falleció el 13 de febrero de 2023, a la edad de 89 años.
