West began his rock and roll career with Red Smiley and the Veltones, a group from Palmetto, La. Two years later, in 1960, he joined a Monroe, La. band named the Roller Coasters, with whom he played for another two years. In 1962 Clint West's own name gained a good deal of regional prominence when he formed his highly popular and now fondly remembered Boogie Kings. The ten-piece band made trips out west to Las Vegas and Hollywood, only to enhance his popularity back home in Louisiana.
The Boogie Kings and Clint West split in 1965, and the separation caused a court fight, with the "original" Boogie Kings attempting to hold the prestigious name, and Clint West and a new crop of Boogie Kings claiming the name as theirs. The original Boogie Kings won in the Ville Platte courtroom, but undaunted, Clint West called his new group the Fabulous Kings, a group he kept until 1968.
