If Allen Toussaint had recorded the hit version of every song that he’s written over the past 50 years, he would rank among the most successful artists of all time.
His songs, including Working In The Coal Mine, Southern Nights, What Do You Want The Girl To Do, Lipstick Traces, Whipped Cream, and Ruler Of My Heart, and many others, are permananetly enshrined in the Popular Music Hall Of Fame, as are the artists who recorded these and hundreds of other Toussaint compositions, from Glen Campbell and Herb Alpert at one end of the scale to Lee Dorsey and Irma Thomas at the other.
R&Bs and rock‘n’roll would never have been the same without Allen Toussaint. You only have to listen to this CD to understand why.
