the back door

D.L. Menard's "The Back Door" turned 55 this year. But there are five things you probably don't know about the most popular and recognizable Cajun song ever.

The Pride of Acadiana Marching Band did something special for this year's homecoming performance. It was a bit of a tribute to Louisiana.

We all know and love the great D.L. Menard for his unique voice and signature tune "La Porte en Arriere (The Back Door)". The song was written in 1962 and 50 years later it still is the most requested Cajun song ever. It's sold over 500,000 copies to date!
