He played piano on <em>Mother-in-Law<\/em> earlier in his career with Ernie K-Doe. His song <em>Whipped Cream<\/em> was made famous by Al Hirt and Herb Albert and their trumpets (and later became known more wildly as the song for the popular Dating Game). He produced Dr. John&#8217;s breakout album <em>Right Place, Wrong Time<\/em> (1973). Many of his other songs were recorded by the Rolling Stones, Bonnie Raitt and Warren Zevon among others.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Allen-Toussaint-2.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10445\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Allen-Toussaint-2.png\" alt=\"Allen Toussaint on Art is Everywhere\" width=\"475\" height=\"245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Allen-Toussaint-2.png 475w, https:\/\/www.ashley-spencer.com\/ArtIsEverywhere\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Allen-Toussaint-2-300x155.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 475px) 100vw, 475px\" \/><\/a>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/entertainment\/music\/allen-toussaint-songwriter-musician-and-producer-of-pop-hits-dies-at-77\/2015\/11\/10\/b3f080e2-87c0-11e5-9a07-453018f9a0ec_story.html\" target=\"_blank\">his obit in the Washington Post<\/a>, he began playing the piano at age 6 and played everyday in the style of Professor Longhair, who was a major influence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">After being born and living all his life in New Orleans, he was forced from his home for the first time during Katrina in 2005.
