The Shreveport City Council passed a resolution recognizing Orville Hall and Philip Price (the Showboys/Triggerman) for their songwriting and publishing contributions and marked the 40th anniversary of the 1986 recording that helped shape bounce music.
The Shreveport City Council on the dais adopted a resolution recognizing Orville Hall and Philip Price for their contributions to the music industry, noting the pair’s credited work on the 1986 recording behind the Triggerman sound and downstream credits on the song “Outside.” Madam Chair read the resolution and asked the honorees to come forward for recognition.
