This guy is a legend from new Orleans to those who have never heard of him (What!?) The citys main Songwriter,Producer,& Performer..his name pops up all over the place on 45,s and Lp,s over the years. I did a full bio of him when i reviewed the Kent LP 036 "From a whisper to a scream" (1985) now long deleted...This is the same album plus an extra track & the album was his debut back in 1970 called simply "Toussaint" with 10 tracks only...so this is a kinda upgrade in Flac.

Saw Mr. Toussaint live numerpus times, including his last performance in New Orleans before his untimely death. When my wife and I were leaving that gig, we saw him standling alone on the sidewalk behind the stage (it was an outdoor gig). I took the opportunity to walk over to him and thank him for all the great music he had given us. He looked truly astonished, thanked me profusely, and then asked me to introduce my wife to him. The man exuded class in all of his endeavors. Don't overlook this album guys; its magnificent. Many thanks for rekindling the memory, AMM.
Thank you AMM
