“If a smile had a sound, it would be the sound of Lee Dorsey’s voice” ALLEN TOUSSAINT

Lee's Dorsey’s effervescent personality was simple for legendary producer Allen Toussaint to work on and with the Sansu house band - The Meters - they crafted a string of classic New Orleans funk records that resonated around the world; if not always big hits, always hugely influential, and the cream are featured here. 

This uncompromising collection captures Dorsey at the top of his game and forms part of a complete retrospective by Charly Records. This is the first time ever that Dorsey’s unique output has been accurately curated, uniting all of his contemporaneous recordings – plus unreleased material –  inextricably linked with his four landmark albums recorded between 1961 and 1978.

This fabulous package focusses on Lee’s breakout album Ride Your Pony – Get Out Of My Life Woman that propelled the singer to #28 pop/#7 R&B with the Junior Walker inspired title track in 1965.
