figures in the New orleans soul field was without doubt the
late and great Allen Toussaint. As musician, songwriter,

name. Read his Wiki-page and learn. By the way,
don’t you just love that cover ?

Laten we vandaag eens luisteren naar iets heel anders. Eén van

Lee Dorsey – The New Lee Dorsey, Stateside 1966

Dear Global Groover,
Until now we have been posting only Tropical Musicstyles at
‘Global Groove’, and ofcourse we shall continue to do so.
The blog’s title, however, indicates that we shall also start
to blend in some genres, looking from a broader perspective.
Black Music, in general, always had my first attention, and from
today I’ll post some other black styles too, like New Orleans Soul.
This album has always been one of my favourites, listen !
