LEE DORSEY

Second only to Fats Domino as an exemplar of New Orleans R&B.  

Lee Dorsey epitomized the loose, easygoing charm of New Orleans R&B perhaps more 

than any other artist of the '60s. Working with legendary Crescent City producer/writer 

Allen Toussaint, Dorsey typically offered good-time party tunes with a playful sense of humor 

and a loping, funky backbeat. Even if he's remembered chiefly for the signature hit "Working in a Coalmine," 

it was a remarkably consistent and winning combination for the vast majority of his recording career...

For all but the most dedicated record collector, Lee Dorsey's terrific singles for Amy -- including 

the hits "Workin' in a Coalmine" and "Ride Your Pony" -- are all anybody knows about Lee Dorsey's 

collaboration with Allen Toussaint. Those were the recordings that were the hits, those were 

the recordings that were played on oldies radio, and those were the recordings that were

 reissued on CD, while the two albums Dorsey and Toussaint made in the '70s seemed lost, 

never reissued and rarely mentioned in either's discography or biography. 

That's not to say that the first of their '70s efforts, 1970's Yes We Can, didn't have an impact. 

Several of the cuts were covered by major artists throughout the decade -- the Pointer Sisters 

had a hit with the title track, Robert Palmer covered "Sneakin' Sally Through the Alley" 

for the title track of his 1974 debut, Ringo Starr cut "Occapella," and the Meters' loose-limbed, 

eclectic groove set the pace for a lot of rock and funk for the '70s (most notably Little Feat, 

who did a faithful cover of Dorsey's 1971 non-LP single "On Your Way Down"). 

So while it was possible to hear the reverberations of this album, it was impossible to easily hear 

this music until it finally saw the light of day on Raven's 2005 two-fer Yes We Can/Night People 

(which also included "On Your Way Down" and another non-LP single, "When Can I Come Home?," as bonus tracks).

Musically, Yes We Can is closer to Toussaint's solo LPs for Warner than Dorsey's '60s sides, 

but it's the best overall album Dorsey ever made and one of the greatest soul albums of the '70s...(AllMusic)
