Willie And Allen

Willie & Allen had one single for the Sansu label in 1966. Both sides, "Baby Do Little" and "I Don't Need No One," were written by Allen Toussaint and both are New Orleans soul with duo male vocals, somewhat in the mold of Lee Dorsey songs like "Get Out of My Life Woman." It has been speculated that Willie & Allen were Allen Toussaint himself and Willie Harper and were also the singers comprising the Rubaiyats, who also did one single for Sansu in 1966. Both sides of the Willie & Allen single -- and both sides of the Rubaiyats' single, as well -- are on the Sundazed compilation Get Low Down!: The Soul of New Orleans '65-'67. ~ Richie Unterberger
