Leavin his soul!!!!! Parting the waters...

Toussaint is a musical genius who really enjoys writing for special talents like Dorsey. Dorsey is tremendously underrated.

[Multi1628]

Lee Dorsey! Allen Toussaint! The Meters! All natch'ly N'Orleans & priceless! Anyone know exactly what year, label, 7", LP, this song was released by Lee Dorsey? Please advise & thank you for posting this gem - Robert Palmer did Lee proud... DAVEDJ

[Delfan1961]

@Multi1628...Lee Dorsey's version was released, in 1971, on Polydor 14055. The B-side of the single was "Tears, Tears And More Tears".  Don't know whether or not it was also released as an album track, at that time.

[nhgranite1]

I agree w/other comments;Lee Dorsey is forever fine and maybe Robert is just another great advance in style and music, love 'em both for different reasons, but great song as well.

[superjett64]

Hope Mr. Dorsey didn't spend a lot for that album cover's photo session...he should have said "HOLY SHIT!" when he seen it in stores looking like that!

[weenielongus]

The album pictured in the background was a compilation of his hits released by Arista Records back in 1985. Lee died in December 1986, so he may have had a peek at that LP in his lifetime?!?

[Plruk]

The connection is the writer of the song, Allen Tousaint.

[inkum08080]

Wow, never knew that Robert Palmer was covering Lee Dorsey. This is what I love about utube a musical investigation, thanks for posting.

[pantex1928]

Actually, he was covering Lee Dorsey who was covering Allan Toussaint, the originator.

[jdw99]

@pantex1928

Lee wasn't covering Allen Toussaint, he did the original recording. Toussaint was his producer, and wrote most of Dorsey's tunes specifically for him.

[pantex1928]

@jdw99

it is Allen Toussaint's song. But you are right.
