Southern Nights (Allen Toussaint album)

''Southern Nights'' is a 1975 R&B concept album by Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Allen Toussaint.〔 Seminal to the development of New Orleans R&B, Toussaint incorporated into the album elements of funk and soul music, while, according to Allmusic, suggesting neo-psychedelia.〔 Two singles were released in support of the album, "Country John" backed with "When the Party's Over" and "Southern Nights"—Toussaint's signature song—backed with "Out of the City". Although neither single charted for Toussaint, "Southern Nights" as later covered by Glen Campbell in 1977 reached number one in Billboard's country, pop and adult contemporary charts. Released in May 1975 by Reprise Records, the album has been subsequently reissued multiple times on both LP and CD.
==Songs==
Among the better known songs of the album, "Southern Nights" was Toussaint's tribute to evenings spent with his Creole family on a porch in the song-writer's native Louisiana.〔 The song that would become Toussaint's signature song was brought to the attention of Glen Campbell by Campbell-collaborator Jimmy Webb.〔 Campbell released it on an album he titled ''Southern Nights'' in February 1977, whereupon it spent four weeks at the top of the country, pop and adult contemporary charts.〔 Toussaint's version of the song was very different from the "cheerful catchiness and...bright, colorful feel" of Campbell's;〔 Allmusic comments in its album review on the "swirling, trippy arrangement that plays like a heat mirage" of Toussaint's version, while ''The Times-Picayune'' remarked in 2009 on its "strange psychedelic-swamp-water sound." In 1994, Toussaint came out of a lengthy hiatus as a performer to record the song in duet with Chet Atkins for the compilation album ''Rhythm, Country and Blues''.〔 Toussaint frequently performs the song in concert.
Bonnie Raitt also had success with her cover of "What Do You Want the Girl to Do",〔 retitled "What Do You Want the Boy to Do?" and released on 1975's ''Home Plate''.
