Composer/producer Allen Toussaint passes

The legendary composer and producer Allen Toussaint (77) passed away Monday, Nov. 9 while on tour in Europe.  Tijuana Brass fans will remember him as the composer of the track “Whipped Cream” from the famous album of the same name (written under the pseudonym Naomi Neville, his mother’s maiden name).  This tune was used as one of the themes for the popular game show The Dating Game in the 1960s.
