Southern Nights by Allen Toussaint



I've been listening to Glen Campbell's popular version of this summer favorite. After hearing Toussaint sing it, I don't know if I can listen to Campbell's interpretation again. Ah, who am I kidding? The song is inherently great!

Toussaint wrote the song; it's featured on his 1975 album Southern Nights.

You should track down AT doing "Computer Lady," which I was forced to hear a lot while working at the House of Blues, 1997 or '98. I believe the chorus goes:

Computer Lady, make my night/
Drive me crazy with your megabyte
