Camey Doucet

“The Cajun Gentleman & Radio Storyteller”

Quick Intro

Camey Doucet—a beloved Cajun musician and longtime radio voice—is a cultural mainstay from Crowley, Louisiana, born April 4, 1939. His signature tune, “Mom, I’m Still Your Little Boy,” became a regional touchstone, beautifully capturing Cajun sensibility. A prolific recording artist, he released numerous singles and albums—including on our label Swallow Records—and hosted generations of French-language radio listeners across KAJN, KSIG, KLVI, and KROF.

In-Depth Profile

Camey began his career behind the mic, lending equipment to KAJN before becoming a French-program disc jockey, eventually moving to KSIG and KLVI in Texas, then returning to and continuing his legacy at KROF in Abbeville. He used every platform available—radio, vinyl, and CD—to share Cajun stories and songs in both French and English. Among his compositions, humorous numbers like “Who Stole the Pies” and heartfelt ballads like “Mom, I’m Still Your Little Boy” strike an emotional chord.
