ALLEN TOUSSAINT
with CHARLES MOORE, ARTHUR NEVILLE, LEO NOCENTELLI,
GEORGE PORTER JR., CLYDE WILLIAMS, RICHY POWELL, etc.
Producer, songwriter, arranger, session pianist, solo artist -- Allen Toussaint wore all these hats over the courseof his lengthy and prolific career, and his behind-the-scenes work alone would have been enough to make him a
legend of New Orleans R&B. Thanks to his work with numerous other artists, Toussaint bore an enormous amount
of responsibility for the sound of R&B in the Crescent City from the '60s on into the '70s. His productions kept
with the times, moving from rollicking, earthy soul in the '60s to gritty, rambunctious funk in the '70s

Allen Toussaint produced a kind of masterpiece with his first Reprise album, Life, Love and Faith,
finding previously unimagined variations on his signature New Orleans R&B sound.
For its 1975 sequel, Southern Nights, he went even further out, working with producer Marshall Sehorn
to create a hazy vague concept album that flirted with neo-psychedelia
while dishing out his deepest funk and sweetest soul...(AllMusic)
