LeRoux (a.k.a. Louisiana's LeRoux) is a pop/rock band founded in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, USA that saw its heyday from 1978 to 1984. Their best-known songs were "Take a Ride On a Riverboat" with its 4-part a capella intro, the regional smash "New Orleans Ladies", "Nobody Said It Was Easy (Lookin' For the Lights)" (their highest charting single), "Addicted", and "Carrie's Gone". Their early music, though pop-oriented, combined many elements such as Southern rock, AOR, Dixieland jazz, rock,　Adult contemporary , Blue-Eyed soul, and some Cajun flavoring, thus defying a pigeonhole into one definable category, like many other diverse Louisiana artists common to an area known for its many musical influences and tastes. After recording the album Up in 1980, they became a noteworthy exponent of the developing AOR sound. The band continues to perform live throughout the U.S., mostly at fairs and festivals in the Louisiana area.
