During Mardi Gras week, we continue our celebration of Black History Month with two legends of New Orleans music first with pianist, composer, arranger, and producer Allen Toussaint. He began in the studio, writing dozens of hit songs and performing as a session player. Over five decades in the music business, he's built a reputation as an eager collaborator, working with everyone from Irma Thomas to Elvis Costello to Trombone Shorty. Toussaint says that in the years after Hurricane Katrina, he's toured and played live more than ever before. He talks with Bob about his early days in the business and the future of music in New Orleans.
Then, we travel to the home of Irma Thomas, known as "The Soul Queen of New Orleans," to learn all about her life and music. There were some struggles along the way but Thomas tells us about winning her first Grammy award in 2007 for her album After the Rain. [Broadcast Date: February 19, 2015]
