Never knew, or heard, about this collab. Just looked up the album. Lowell George, Steve Winwood and Bernard Purdie! Thanks for the intro...

Yeah, this was 11 years before Palmer hit the big time on MTV. I'm only about 3 hours from New Orleans, so we usually heard stuff from there. At the time we had a cool Rock radio station and they always played the whole side of the lp which is "Sailin' Shoes", "Hey Julia" and "Sneakin' Sally..." I think they were intended to be played all together.
Since 2010 I've become a fan of the late Allen Toussaint. I didn't know who he was until I saw him open for Neil Young at a benefit concert for Gulf Coast food banks. That night I learned what a legend he was because this 72 year-old cat comes out on the stage and starts bangin' away on the piano. And I knew almost every song he played. I was surprised to learn he also wrote "Sneakin' Sally..." I'm glad to return the favor because you've posted a lot of songs and bands I've never heard about. I think most of the Funk songs I know are on the surface because I heard them on the radio, whereas you seem to have delved deeper into the genre.

In January, I was in New Orleans and saw Stanton Moore do a tribute concert for Allen Toussaint at the Joy Theatre. Maceo Parker was one of the special guests, and it was great to see him in person, paying tribute to a towering colossus, such as Toussaint. Although quiet and unassuming, Toussaint was an incredibly important figure in the Funk world. Lee Dorsey - A Lover Was Born
