"Working In The Coal Mine" #8 9/3/1966

There are no coal mines anywhere near New Orleans, but Big Easy native Lee Dorsey took this Allen Toussaint song about that subject into the Top 10. Even though he had success musically, Lee never really left his full-time vocation of owning an auto body shop. He'd come off the road, roll up his sleeves and go straight to the garage. Devo recorded a very industrial version of this in the 80's.
