If you don't know this man and his work... do yourself a favor.
From his fine efforts in the 70's through his late resurrection via his post-Katrina collaboration with Elvis Costello to more recently his Foo Fighters' Sonic Highways appearance, his influence was far reaching.
The list of artists that covered songs he penned is as varied as it is long.
The list of artists he produced LPs for is long and distinguished,

Little Feat's live recording of Toussaint's classic tune is one of my favorites.
