Lillian Boutte ::::Cherry Red.

Born: August 6, 1949

Lillian Boutté - vocalist

When singer Lillian Boutté was named New Orleans Musical Ambassador in 1986, she was the second jazz legend in the city's history to be accorded this honor - the first having been none other than Louis Armstrong. Ambassador Lillian is a loquacious and outspoken defender of her hometown. She has been working extensively to help Katrina victims, doing benefits and organizing relief funds for musicians, many of whom have lost everything. Also very active in this cause is her brother John Boutté a highly heralded singer in his own right and possessor of one of the finest voices in America. The siblings grew up in the Seventh Ward along with eight other sisters and brothers, steeped in the neighborhood culture of the city that is now threatened by extinction in the wake of Katrina.
