DeltaSouth Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 I grew up on the western edge of the delta south usa... a few hours from New Orleans When we were young, back in the 70s, we'd head over to New Orleans to check out the record stores, and go to clubs such as Tip's or other live music venues. I got to witness Professor Longhair, The Funky Meters, lots of Jazz at Snug Harbor and legends such as Allen T, Irma Thomas or Lee Dorsey. We lost a legend. We lost a benchmark. Brickyard Blues, indeed... 2 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Westender Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 One of the greats. We've lost so many of them over the last few years. A real shame but he leaves behind a wonderful legacy. 1 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

macca Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 A clip from his last ever show. He apparently laughed and joked with a few fans at the theatre then went back to his hotel where he died of a heart attack some time later. RIP. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=5FwBfimGbPU#action=share Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Dave2 Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Such loss but a proud legacy left by a humble man. Sansu was your baby. As well as UK Top Ten hits, you dedicated your life to music; gracing ours with well-crafted, catchy R&B. The boogie-woogie got you, but so did we. You gave us ‘smart’ tunes; brilliantly balanced melodies that spiral on the dance floor, lifting the heart! It’s your vocals on Omar! Your penned horns on Irma Thomas What Are You trying To Do? - and those chords in Show It! -all over the shop but absolutely magnificent. (Hang on a Minit... is it you too? - piano chords 1:20 in on Homer Banks’s 60 Minutes?) RIP Mr Toussaint, and thank you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4EihE9a_mEE Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
