{"title":"Allen Toussaint Vinyl Records","description":"\u003cp\u003eAllen Toussaint (1938-2015) was an American musician, songwriter, and record producer from New Orleans, Louisiana. He was a key figure in the development of the New Orleans R\u0026amp;B and soul sound, and worked with some of the most influential artists in the genre, including The Meters, Dr. John, and Professor Longhair. He wrote and produced many classic songs, such as “Working in the Coal Mine”, “Southern Nights”, and “Ride Your Pony”.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eToussaint's most popular and critically acclaimed album is probably 1978's Southern Nights, which spawned the title track, which reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. Other standout albums include The Wild Sound of New Orleans (1960), What Is Success? (1965), and Toussaint (1972).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eToussaint was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 and the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2010. He was also honored with a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2013. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn interesting fact about Allen Toussaint is that he was a classically trained pianist, having learned to play at the age of seven. He was known for his signature jazz-tinged piano style, which was heavily influenced by his classical training.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"allen-toussaint-love-and-faith-life-rhino-reserve-362333","title":"Allen Toussaint – Life, Love and Faith (Rhino Reserve)","description":"\n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003e Brand New\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n  \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShips from: \u003c\/strong\u003e Melbourne\u003c\/div\u003e\n  \n\n\n\n\u003cul class=\"tabs\"\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRelease details\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTracklist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"tabs-content\"\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Description tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli class=\"active\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBacked by The Meters, this album is a soul gem and considered to be one of Toussaint's finest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn celebration of Black Music Month, this album has been cut from the original analog master by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab and is pressed locally on 180 gram premium-quality vinyl at Fidelity Record Pressing's plant in Oxnard, California as part of the Rhino Reserve line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFeatures\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRhino Reserve Audiophile Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e180g Premium-Quality Vinyl LP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLacquers Cut by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressed in California at Fidelity Record Pressing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n    \n\n    \n  \u003c\/li\u003e\n\n  \u003c!-- Release tab content --\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n    \u003cdiv\u003e\n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eArtist: \u003c\/strong\u003e Allen Toussaint\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLabel: \u003c\/strong\u003e Rhino Records\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n          \n          \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat: \u003c\/strong\u003e LP\u003c\/div\u003e\n          \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnits: \u003c\/strong\u003e 1\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/vinyl-records-store-australia\/country_us\"\u003eUS\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre: \u003c\/strong\u003e\n          \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/funk-soul-music-vinyl-records\"\u003eSoul \u0026amp;

Released in 1975, it finds the great songwriter, producer and pianist in fully self-contained form, balancing crisp groove, elegant melodies and understated emotion. The title track became his best-known song, later widely covered, while songs such as What Do You Want the Girl To Do? show his gift for writing music that feels both intimate and durable.
