Schooled in jazz, he was known for his blues, soul and funk recordings, compositions, productions and arrangements.
He debuted on Ace Records in 1955 and released more single records than anyone else in New Orleans other than Fats Domino.Eddie Bo worked and recorded for more than 40 different record labels, including Ace, Apollo Records, Arrow, At Last, Blue-Jay, Bo-Sound, Checker, Chess, Cinderella, Nola, Ric (for which business his carpentry skills were used to build a studio), Scram, Seven B, and Swan.
He is described at Allmusic as "a sorely underappreciated veteran of the New Orleans R&B scene."
