Battle of the Bands: Fortune Teller

One of the greatest songwriters in New Orleans and perhaps the World passed away recently. I paid tribute to him with this post. His songs offer so many choices so I will narrow it down to one.

The rules are simple I pick a song and present a couple of bands battling it out with the song. You pick the one you like best by casting your vote in the comments. The why's and other comments are always welcomed.

I hope you enjoy! It is all up to you, just vote in the comments for the one you like the best! I went to the Fortune Teller and she told me the winner is...stay tuned!

R.I.P Allen Toussaint

Allen Toussaint has been awarded the National Medal of the Arts, a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, an AMA Lifetime Achievement Winner, and an artist who has been covered by a who's Who's list of artist. It might be easier to klist who hasn't cover his songs.

He passed away today. After a show in Spain he suffered a heart attack and at the age of 77 passed away.

Here he is with "Southern Nights"..

"On Your Way Down"..

"A Certain Girl"

The world has lost a great songwriter. You may not recognize his name but you will recognize his songs. His songs is a treasury to the music world and quite a legacy to pass on.
