LEE DORSEY - YES WE CAN PART 1


I don't know about you, but I could sure use a lift on a Monday morning like today...

Who better to provide it than the always groovy Lee Dorsey, together with another NOLA legend behind the decks, Allen Toussaint.

The Pointer Sisters also did a great version of this one, but I feel that Lee's version doesn't get the credit it deserves so here you go!


from 1970...

There's a really crazy cover of this tune that was done by the Young at Heart choir (all seniors in their 70s, 80s, and 90s) and was featured in the movie about that "band":. They also cover Sonic Youth, Talking Heads and others (?!!). The movie is highly recommended and their version of the Lee Dorsey tune, quite demented.
Here's a trailer for that movie
