| | M-Files "Arthur Lee & Love" |
| | Lee can claim to be a genuinely original songwriter, and a charismatic stage performer, but it's still unclear whether he will become one of rock's enigmatic relics, popping up from time to time to remind the fans of who he once was. | | | Lee has been known to claim that Botnick did not produce the album, that he wanted David Angel's string arrangements removed from the mix, and that he, rather than Angel, did the arranging. | | | Maclean has said that the effect of the final mix on his vocals was so awful that he has only ever listened to the album once. |

| | The New Lee Dorsey [+] was released later in 1966, and supplied Dorsey's best-known song, the irresistible "Working in a Coalmine" (which he co-wrote with Toussaint). | | | The accompanying album of the same name sold respectably as well, and Dorsey began cutting a multitude of Toussaint compositions, often with the legendary New Orleans funk ensemble the Meters [+] as his studio backing band. | | | With its clanking sound effects and Dorsey's comic exclamations, "Working in a Coalmine" became his second Top Ten pop hit and signature song, and Dorsey toured internationally with the Meters [+] backing him up. |

| | Ink Nineteen: Lee Dorsey |
| | The Clash asked him to open one of their tours, and when he died in 1986 at the age of 60, his place was cemented in the extensive legacy of New Orleans music. | | | I dare you to listen to anyone of these 20 marvelous songs and not be able to sing its chorus the next day. | | | Between Toussaint's imaginative arrangements (horns and piano charts are intricately written and intertwined), pop/soul hooks, and Dorsey's plaintive singing, these cuts shimmer for every second of their 3 minute lengths. |

| | Lee Dorsey had just completed the "Night People" album for ABC records and needed a band to work it. | | | Fats Domino, Lee Dorsey, Irma Thomas, Franky Ford, Huey "Piano" Smith, Ernie Kdoe and Allen Toussaint, to name a few, were laying R and B neuron foundations in his brain. | | | At age 9 he got his first guitar and by 14, with a fake ID he was playing guitar at a strip joint on Bourbon Street. |

| | Funky16Corners: Lee Dorsey - Four Corners Pt1 |
| | Also highly recommended are Dorsey’s LP and 45s from his association with the Polydor label. | | | The tune was never released on a US LP, though it did appear on a UK issue EMI ‘Greatest Hits’ as well as being tacked onto the US CD release of the ‘Ride Your Pony/Get Out Of My Life Woman’ album. | | | From his first 45 in 1958, to his breakthrough with ‘Ya Ya’ in 1960, on to the beginning of his association with Amy records in 1965, Dorsey went from being a body and fender man with a Ray Charles jones to one of the Crescent City’s most solid senders. |

| | Ya Ya (2:26) - This song, featuring a piano and a sax, is moderately fast and one of two songs by Lee that I hear on the radio. | | | Lee's character tells Betty's that times get rough sometimes; she replies that he need not worry, for she'll always stand by him. | | | Lottie Mo '68 (previously unreleased) (3:41) - Apparently, Lee had a hit with another version of this song some years earlier. |

| | Dorsey specialized in good-humored music with a touch of second-line funk thrown in to make it all the more irresistible. | | | Born Dec 24, 1924 in New Orleans, LA, Died Dec 1, 1986 in New Orleans, LA. The effervescent approach of Lee Dorsey perfectly summarizes the infectious charm of early-'60s New Orleans RandB. | | | Arranged by prolific New Orleans pianist Allen Toussaint, the track proved an RandB chart-topper and a major pop hit to boot. |

| | Lee Dorsey, Yes We Can / Night People |
| | Dorsey's influence would be felt through the later '70s via the covers of his material by the Pointer Sisters, Robert Palmer and Little Feat, but although he released three albums they didn't make much of an impression. | | | Dorsey has more of a soul sound, with strings, and his mellifluous vocals float high, almost Al Green-like. | | | He and Toussaint made his sound fit in with what was happening in music at the time. |

| | Robert Christgau: Yes He Can Can: Lee Dorsey |
| | Dorsey isn't a legend like the Clash's previous openers, Bo Diddley and Sam & Dave, and if there were any justice he wouldn't need to be, because he's recorded good music right into the '70s, with two classic albums to his credit: Yes We Can (1970 Polydor cutout) and Night People (1977 ABC cutout). | | | His band, four "funky white boys"--Dorsey's description--from New Orleans called Skor, sing way too loud and quite flat on "Holy Cow" but then settle into a pleasing, slightly rockified Meters groove, with drummer Ronnie Arcement's versions of Ziggy Modeliste's impossible accents and crossbeats especially deft. | | | I just figure they'd want me to give the spry its due. |

| | It was only Lee Dorsey's second recording session, the first being 1957’s “Rock Pretty Baby” b/w “Lonely Evening” for the Rex label just a short while prior. | | | For more detailed information on Lee Dorsey, Allen Toussaint, and Joe Banashak, I suggest you read I Hear You Knockin’ by Jeff Hannusch, and Rhythm and Blues In New Orleans by John Broven. | | | Also, the Valiant single was his first opportunity to work with Allen Toussaint, who arranged, played piano on the sessions, and wrote the flip side. |

| | Lee Dorsey, singing songs you know by heart and some you've likely never heard. | | | Between these two reissues, you get a total of 23 bonus cuts which means the complete catalog of Lee Dorsey releases on the Amy and Sehorn labels. | | | Luckily for us, he was a cat with at least three lives, and Lee Dorsey, rhythm and blues specialist, became a true American treasure. |

| | Although he didn't have the flash of megastar performers like James Brown, you can hear Dorsey's intonation and groove in many of the great funk bands of the 70s, like Parliament and Cameo. | | | Not to mention centuries of political machinations, running the gamut from virtual dynastic royalty to populist uprisings to Lee Harvey Oswald hawking socialist newspapers down on the corner. | | | For the next several posts, I'll be whipping out some of the great artists that made Nola one of the most influential musical cities in the universe. |
