After recording A Little Touch of Schmilsson in the Night Harry Nilsson remarked that he would like to record an album of songs by Allen Toussaint. Instead, he and John Lennon recorded Pussy Cats.[1]
Allen Richard Toussaint (; January 14, 1938 – November 10, 2015) was an American musician, songwriter, arranger, and record producer. He was an influential figure in New Orleans rhythm and blues from the 1950s to the end of the century, described as "one of popular music's great backroom figures." Many musicians recorded Toussaint's compositions. He was a producer for hundreds of recordings: the best known are "Right Place, Wrong Time", by longtime friend Dr. John, and "Lady Marmalade" by Labelle.
