This is one of the best albums you,ll ever hear! Even though the producer Huey P Meaux made a right mess of the overall production, thanks to our reviewer today he,s cleaned it up...so we could say the best copy anywhere is on this blog! Most of the tracks were huge dancers on the Northern Scene and is a MUST for anyone into classy black music. My copy is not good to say the least,so i was overjoyed when the offer came in from Staxman and his "cleaned up" copy. Shirley Goodman hit the dizzy heights with "shame,shame,shame" on Sylie Robinsons All-Platinum label out of New Jersy with a world wide seller. But this duo both came From New Orleans and teamed up to record this classic gem of an album on Huey Meaux Crazy Cajun label. She found early popularity in the UK and the states with school chum Leonard Lee as Shirley & Lee "let the Good Times Roll" later a huge dancefloor hit for Bunny Sigler. She had that other magic 45 on wand with Jesse Hill " You Cant fight Love" featured on here. "We Got a Good Thing Going On" & "Just A Little Ugly" parts 1&2 only appear on the LP and never got reissued to our knowledge. No tasters for "ugly" sadly that Staxman choose as a taster..In fact its one of my fave albums of all time. Sadly there,s only 3 tasters available from this album as its so rare ,ive let Staxman choose a taster, i was going to post his choices but not to be... in his honour and for his work in cleaning it up and providing us with splendid music!!...Welcome to the blog Staxman!..All their mega rare dancers are on here...what a joy!

Aw man, the late, great, Jesse Hill! Best known for that fantastic song Ooh Poo Pa Doo (with the phenomenal line, "create a disturbance in your mind"). Jesse's grandson was also a risig star in the NO music scene, Travis "Trumpet Black" Hill, who sadly died way too young while flying to start a tour in Japan (abcessed tooth of all damn things).
To say this is rare, is an extreme understatement. To say I want it is also a very extreme understatement. Thanks again, AMM!
THANK YOU Staxman and AMM for the review! Looks good!
great review Amm thank you .
Thanks Staxman for your clean up efforts on this treasure. Welcome to the blog.
Thanks.Staxman for this review of such a lost gem.
Good review Staxman and AMM, thanks for this
Thank you Staxman, fantastic review!!
The mere mention of 1978 would ordinarily have me run away screaming, but with that review I can't pass this up. Thanks, Staxman and AMM!
I am looking forward to hear this highlight. Thanks for review, P.
Thank you for the great review. And I really do like the teasers!!
This Looks Tasty Cheers AMM And Of Course Staxman
Thankyou folks. This is indeed a rare opportunity. Love the last sentence on the back of the cover "Jesse and Shirley may not be the next sonny and cher or captain and tennille". Thank goodness they weren't!!
Well, once again I'm very intrigued. Thank you AMM and Staxman.

as rare as rockin horse shit,what an album,sold mine years ago when skint! thx newby Staxman great review !
Thank you Staxman and of course AMM. A rare find is always interesting. I look forward to checking out this album. Thank you for the Tasters and tracks.
you're welcome, fans of the NOLA scene, Overlooked LP I needed to justice to..Jessie (they even spelled his name wrong on the shitty cover,) drunk as always trying to duet with Shirley screeching like a cat in heat. Strange cash-in for Meaux, and a very unlikely soul duo that only for a month and never gigged. The Odd Couple of New Orleans Soul.
Most definitely! Please and thanks.
Great to see this. Any other of those Crazy Cajun albums would be appreciated, especially Rocky Gil And The Bishops - Soul Party.
Nice One...!
Many thanks Staxman & AMM for this review

Hi AMM,
Wow this is a nice surprise, great stuff. Thank you very much for a fabulous review.
This looks good. About 30 years ago I came across a nice stash of Crazy Cajun LPs at a distributor in Chicago who's son was one of Huey's friends, but this one was not in that group. I'd love to hear it. Jerry
