Jackson, MS (WLBT) - A Mississippi blues legend was honored in the Mississippi State Senate Wednesday morning.
Denise La Salle was born in Leflore County in the Mississippi Delta.
Senator David Jordan presented her with a proclamation from the state legislature.
In 1971, her album "Trapped By A Thing Called Love" went gold.
She later signed with Malaco Records and recorded for them here in Jackson.
Lasalle told lawmakers she is proud to be from the state and she still has "Mississippi mud" on her shoes.
