Allen Toussaint is one of America’s greatest musical treasures. Singer, pianist, songwriter, arranger and producer — the New Orleans native has been making hit records for over forty years. His massive infl uence on American music reaches deep into the idioms of rhythm and blues, pop, country, musical theater, blues and jazz. In the 50’s and 60’s he accumulated an amazing string of hits, and in the 70’s some of the seminal recordings of the funk and disco era, including Dr. John’s
“ Right Place, Wrong Time” and Labelle’s “Lady Marmalade.”
