专辑简介

As a local bandleader in New Orleans, Ernie Vincent backed touring stars like Joe Tex, Solomon Burke, and Percy Sledge, as well as local legends like Ernie K-Doe, , Irma Thomas, and Johnny Adams. Meanwhile, he reached worldwide fame with his own band, The Top Notes, on "Dap Walk." As an independent writer and arranger, Ernie has also created a legacy of recordings with many regrettably forgotten artists on his own KOLAB Records, as well as other micro-labels like Justice, Fordom, and Solid State. This thirty-year collection gives you a sampling of these hidden gems, restored and remastered. All songs are written, composed, produced, and performed by Ernie Vincent, plus a previously unreleased performance by the late Ernie K-Doe ("Night Fox").
