劉福助（1940），本名劉子騰，新北市中和區人，臺灣重要的臺語歌手與詞曲創作者，被譽為「民謠歌王」。其創作以臺灣庶民生活為題材，擅長將地方俗諺、俚語與口語節奏融入歌詞之中，形成高度生活化、敘事感鮮明的音樂風格。他出身清苦家庭，父親為皮鞋師傅，早逝後家計頓失依靠，使他自少年時期便投入歌唱工作，於電臺現場節目與巡迴演唱中累積實力。1959 年錄製首張唱片〈丟丟咚〉，正式進入歌壇。1967 年獨立完成《安童哥買菜》專輯，結合民俗趣味與市井觀察，引起廣泛回響，奠定其在臺語歌壇的重要地位；其後數十年，劉福助持續創作與演出，橫跨唱片、廣播、電視與電影領域，並以《十憨》、《24 節氣》等專輯獲得金鼎獎、金曲獎肯定。近年仍活躍於舞台，展現跨世代的文化影響力，是兼具傳統精神與創新意識的國寶級臺語藝人。
