Roland Daniels (1950-September 6, 1988), best known under the ring names of Leroy Brown and Elijah Akeem, was an American professional wrestler for the American Wrestling Association, Mid-South Wrestling and Jim Crockett Promotions during the 1980s.

Daniels was the first wrestler to enter the ring with a Jim Croce song from the early 1970s, "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown", a tune that also gave birth to wrestler Leroy Brown's ring name. Bad, Bad Leroy Brown was "badder than old King Kong, meaner than a junkyard dog"."

He died on September 6, 1988 due to the result of a heart attack. [cite web |url=http://www.wwedaily.com/bad-bad-leroy-brown/ | title=Bad, Bad Leroy Brown | accessdate=2008-03-13]
