Allen Toussaint's wild soul and sizzling funk made the New Orleans native one of the most important producers to ever come out of the city. Toussaint's groovy licks weave through the rambunctious soul of LaBelle's “Lady Marmalade” and the cheeky military flavors of Ernie K-Doe's “Here Come The Girls.” Elsewhere, Toussaint gifted rock group The Band the distinctly New Orleans horn section on “Life Is a Carnival.”
