Cajun music superstar Richard LeBouef is celebrating his birthday today.  Richard is known for his high powered shows, his passion for his music and his countless number of mega hits.

Richard has given us great music throughout the years with songs like "Empty Glass, Who Stole My Monkey, Louisiana Lullaby, Midland Two Step, Heaven was a Drink of Wine and On a night like This' just to name a few.

Richard Lebouef went to Kaplan High School and currently lives in Maurice, Louisiana.

In 1997, Richard released his album "Again for the first Time" on the La Louisianne record label which spawned the mega hit "Empty Glass".  The song is a remake of an old country classic first recorded by Gary Stewart.  Richard took this classic and made it his own and the song has taken a life of it's own here in the Louisiana area become one of the most popular songs in Cajun Music history!
