1) I couldn't find a complete discography anywer so I compiled several sources. I'm quite sure this list is incomplete... there is nothing from the 60s!

2) I'm not sure what the rules are for removing the "stub" designation but this seems like a fairly full entry to me. --Calan 07:59, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hurricane Katrina Tribute

Apparently Allen Toussaint recorded a charity single with J-pop superstar Mika Nakashima called "ALL HANDS TOGETHER" (all caps). I'll update the entry if I can find a better link [1]. The music video shows him playing piano while she sings. There are additional videos of him appearing on several television programs with her in Japan.--Burzum 02:10, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
