[@tonyfreeman1339]

Hat's off to the resently departed Art Neville

[@janathmer2587]

One of my all time favorite pianists. Unique stylist! What an artist! Beautiful!

[@cynthiahawkins2389]

Surrounded by the amazing Nevilles, warmed by a loving audience, unique as a fine rough diamond...this man paved the way, setting a standard for all who would follow, in New Orleans..and 'otherwheres'

[@whenmullet2674]

The Meters were: Zigaboo Modeliste (drums), George Porter Jr. (bass), Leo Nocentelli (guitar) and Art Neville (keyboards). Cyril Neville joined about this time.

doesnt get better than Fess + The Meters

[@fredlibby8518]

So beautifully weird/ so weirdly beautiful

[@eliotguerin192]

That’s the Caribbean influence showing. New Orleans music is still American music at its core, but our city has been connected to the Caribbean for a long time as well. Once you add a unique artist like Fess, you’ll get great songs just like this one.

[@jdmcarandmotorcycle]

Кто такой tipitino a? A????????

[@KellyK387]

Tipitinas is the bar in New Orleans he played at, it’s still open, it was Named after his song

[@eliotguerin192]

He never told us what Tipitina was, it’s a mystery. But we have a couple good guesses. It could be about a girl named Tina who Fess was very interested in. It could also just be playful nonsense. But if you listen to the original version’s lyrics, he’s singing about a woman.

Hi Bob R., trying to source licensing rights for this Professor Longhair footage for a documentary. Any ideas?

[@bluesharpbobny]

Hi, I copied this from an old VHs tape I had, The show was ( & I think still is) produced by WTTW, the PBS station in Chicago. Here's a link to their website, perhaps someone there could help you. Best of luck with your doc, he definitely deserves one!www.wttw.com/

[@KarklinPumpkin]

Any updates on your documentary?

[@zydeco2378]

Thanks for posting this wonderful video! Did you post all the songs from Dr.John PBS special? It's a shame they didn't release it on DVD.

[@zydeco2378]

Thank you, I would appreciate it.

[@notimewarp]

It was on KZbin in it's entirety at one time... Dunno if it still is...

[@bluesharpbobny]

The whole show is now posted to my Channel
