@Ripmatic yep man, this is a classic break right here, the beatnuts also used an other version of this song by grassella olliphant, for the first part of "shit is real"
I heard this song "back in the day" on WVON-AM Cicero (Chicago) but I didn't know it was Lee Dorsey. Since the poster was kind enough to mention that it's on the same LP as Working In A Coal Mine I'll be looking for the CD.
pssssssst! it was written by by Alan Toussaint,same guy who wrote working in the coal mines and glen campbells southern nights,thats his song on that axe comercial too,with the chocolate man..sweet touch of love....so get your facts atraight before you put people down genius..it is copied!
written by allen toussaint ,whats the debate,its o.k your stupid,im good with it.you werer wrong,move on .apology accepted..we agree the doors and hendrix and paul butterfields and jerry garcias versions are as original as dorseys version...NOT! ....NEXXXXXXXXT!
Get your head out of your ass. The Beatles were 10 times the musicians that Lee was. To say this version is out of their league is too talk with your ass.
"nothing to do with the doors or Beatles" all that guy said was that the doors did a cover of it jackass, not that its their original material.. learn to read
Classic "Crescent City Soul" sound from Lee Dorsey. This reached #5 on Billboard's R&B charts in 1966, and is my favorite number by him. I believe the Meters are backing him on this.
love it, im guessing your the same person who has put all the lee dorsey songs on here with the vinyl playing in the video, cant believe more people aren't feeling listening to it
I don't even know what I'm doing here. Hahaha... Funky song.

It's nothing to do with the doors or the Beatles, it is original Lee Dorsey song written,produced sung and directed.
It's out of anyone elses league- so don't say its copied from someone else !!!!
Lee dorsey was entirely unique, and nobody could copy him my friends.
Many thanks for posting this terrifc 60's hit !
