Agreed.
Lowell doing a great cover of one of his classics.

Bonnie Raitt's version of that song - What Do You Want the Boy To Do, and Two Trains and On Your Way Down by Litte Feat were my introduction to M. Toussaint.

A great songwriter and no mean piano player. Sad news.

Great choices Gareth
The funny thing is Silk Degrees by Boz Scaggs one of my favourite long players has his version of WDYWTGTD but I prefer Lowell's, Bonnie Raitt always class.
RIP Mr Toussaint
