John check just about any credit that lists Wardell Quezerque, one of the masters of the Crescent City Soul scene.

A large chunk of Barbara Lynns output for a start......

WOOF!

Wardell Quezerque, was a writer,arranger and producer, his legacy is huge. Allen Toussaint called him "the Creole Beethoven" just a few tunes that he was behind in one way or another.

C.L. Blast - " I'm In A Daze"

The Jades - "Lucky Fellow"

Charles "Soul" Brown - "Standing On The Outside"

Lydia Marcell - "Everbody Dance"

Vickie Labat - "When You're In Love"

labels include.

Nola, Hot Line, Whurley Burley, Bonatemp, Mode, A.B.S. and Shagg

Edited by Brett

Robert Parker - Caught you in a lie - Nola - so underplayed its almost criminal

Ravin Mads - Where is Love (RAVEN)

The Rubaiyats - Omar Khayam (SANSU)

Joyce Harris - Baby Baby Baby (FUN) - sure this is New Orleans

Skip Easterling - Keep the fire Burning (ALON)

barons - As soon as you're born (SHAGG)

I play those 5 out regularly !

I've got one, so it can't be that rare. I bet there's over 50, possibly 100 around. I don't even think it's good.
