“Sophisticated Cissy” #34 3/22/1969

New Orleans is home to some of the funkiest music anywhere. The Meters were integral to that rhythmic gumbo of styles. Fronted by Art Neville of the Neville Brothers, these guys played some seriously tight grooves. There’s a similarly titled record from Rufus Thomas that spelled the proper name “Sissy” and was a very popular dance tune in the black gay clubs down on the bayou.
