Allen Toussaint, "Big Chief"

Stereogum notes that the New Orleans classic “Big Chief,” performed here by the late Allen Toussaint on his forthcoming final album, was “sampled in a Lily Allen song.” At first I was horrified by the idea that anyone under 30 might only know this iconic piano roll through “Knock ’Em Out,” but then I realized that people under 30 probably don’t even have much of an idea of who Lily Allen is at this point. It’s time to die, is what I’m saying. Anyway, please enjoy Allen Toussaint’s take on “Big Chief.” I’ll be sitting quietly in the corner, remember what life was like during the Roosevelt administration. You wouldn’t believe what a nickel would buy you back then.
