This show features Louis at the peak of his fame, when he was a national celebrity with his name (and nicknames) quickly becoming a ‘household word’.

That didn’t necessarily mean that life was easy, though, as the details of his life from this era convey. It was a good time to let the music do the talking, so we do our best to abide by that rule ourselves.
