    I can't understand the one "thumbs down" on this. Allen was such a gentleman & a talented songwriter, singer, and producer. He is greatly missed. A new Orleans treasure. And again thanks to Elvis Costello for getting Allen back on the road touring after Hurricane Katrina. We saw him live a couple of times before he passed. Great shows!

      James Dupre The thumbs down was probably from a disgruntled runner- up who didn’t get voted in that year.

      Pretty sure the thumbs down are for Robertson, not Toussaint

    True Story. I was playing maraccas on someone's step by Pal's, And Toussaint was rolling down the street in his Rolls, and waved at us. RIP Allen. You are still the Master.

    I have never seen Robbie Robertson look so nervous & nerded out! Such a fanboy, that's so sweet. We here in New Orleans have always loved Allen Toussaint, it's nice that he finally got more recognition before he passed.

    A true gentleman. The first time I heard of him was from a cover by Iron Butterfly "Get Out of My Life, Woman"

    If Allen was still around, I'd say, please be president. Because he would show us all, What a good American is and how to be a good American.
