    Music Legend Allen Toussaint passes away at 77.

    So sad to hear of the passing of Allen Toussaint. Known for his songwriting and being the backbone of New Orleans music:

    "When not too many people can see we're all the same
    And because of all their tears,
    Their eyes can't hope to see
    The beauty that surrounds them
    Isn't it a pity".

    - "Isn't It A Pity"

          My favorite version of this song and I don't know if it is because it was in the movie 'Heavy Metal'

          Their eyes can't hope to see

          Isn't it a pity".

                I think McCartney and Wings recorded the Venus and Mars album at Toussaint's studio in New Orleans back in '75/'76.

                The Costello/Toussaint album is really good.

                Isn't it a pity".
