The forum in which all human experience resides. Especially for fans of the now-deceased original Hall of the Wendigo. Still Number One with the core demographic.

Fading out with a sax.
I thought that was a pleasant album, with surprising hints of Supertramp to it but that it didn't have anything about it that really leapt out at me. I think it was all a bit too relaxed for me.
Now to look back at the thread and see the sheer carnage what everyone else made of it.

Southern Nights was track 5. for me anyway.
I thought that was Basic Lady, even though it said it was Southern Nights?
I think that was my fav song. Whatever it's called. Bit like what John Lennon was going for, but never quite got there.
Does remind me of something.
I think it might be Kraftwerk or something, Franz Schubert maybe?

Greatest sax solo of all time.
No exaggeration.

Now I'm sad.
I failed all of you and Allen Toussaint.

This is what it sounds like.
Note for note.

I doubt very much he wasn't aware of the fact.
Toussaint was composing and recording in the '50s as Tousan,

Standards like 'Babyface" were riffed on as commonly as "Happy-bl*nking-Birthday and doubtless had their origins earlier in ragtime etc.
