Just thinking about Lee Dorsey. Everybody knows his hits Working in a Coalmine or Sneakin Sally Through the Alley. Maybe Ya Ya. Maybe even Get Out of My Life, Woman, which are more likely known for someone elses cover. Listen to this original -- and pay attention to the soul...drum beat and the low, low sax. But its real NOLA SOUL with that piano. Get out of my eyes, teardrops. https://youtube/watch?v=uxp0Kfgpft8 But I suggest you listen to Yes We Can too. Can really hear the NOLA in the horns. And he recorded this song first -- before The Pointer Sisters made a huge global splash with it in the mid-1970s (likely theirs was the first version we heard). https://youtube/watch?v=TwhWxI1zYAE And then theres Whos Gonna Help Brother Get Further. NOLA funk. https://youtube/watch?v=ji0MwgJaqKA Cant you hear so much of what we celebrate as New Orleans music? Much of it made more popular by other groups, other places. Thanks, Mr. Dorsey. (and Mr. Toussaint)
