FUSE TV - Allen Toussaint, New Orleans R&B Pioneer, Dies at 77
Allen Toussaint, New Orleans–born R&B icon, died on Monday (Nov. 9) in Spain at the age of 77.
An email from his daughter, Alison Toussaint-LeBeaux, to the New York Times says that the cause of death was likely a heart attack. Toussaint reportedly collapsed in a Madrid hotel after a concert.
Toussaint released his first album in 1958; his most recent collection was 2013's Songbook. "Throughout his career," the Times writes, "Mr. Toussaint embodied the traditions of the New Orleans R&B scene, working as one of the city’s most prolific and influential songwriters and producers during the 1960s and 70s."
