I've just learned of the loss of #NewOrleans music institution #ArtNeville. If you're just beginning your journey into #VintageSoul, studying the #records associated with Art Neville is a great place to start. . In addition to his 1950s work in #RhythmNBlues, Art was one of the foundations of #NewOrleansSoulMusic as well as #funkmusic in general. Along with his band #The Meters, Art appeared on dozens of hit singles by the likes of #LeeDorsey, #DrJohn, #LaBelle, & many more. and then of course, the entire #NevilleBrothers catalog that kept funky/soulful music alive during the 1980s. . We've lost WAY too many New Orleans legends recently. My heart goes out to everyone to whom this music has meant so much. https://www.instagram.com/p/B0RnB5ohKif/?igshid=exubdzb3hee8

It's THE QUEEN's Day! In her honor be sure to tell someone "Baby, get lost!" today! . . #DinahWashington #RhythmAndBlues #RhythmNBLues #TheBlues #JazzVocal. Ps I couldn't find an ad for "baby get lost fast enough" for this post, but I figure her face sat "baby get lost" in this ad.
