    Decease LaSalle

    Belated RIP because she died on Jan 8. Material tended to be quite raunchy, in the tradition of bawdy blues. One UK hit that played on a double entendre.

    "Don't Mess With My Toot-Toot" was one of her worst songs (the original by Rockin’ Sydney is more bearable). LaSalle was a a superb soul singer; especially the stuff produced by Willie Mitchell -- who made Al Green -- is worth listening to. "Trapped By A Thing Called Love" in particular is an essential '70s soul song.

    Her latter stuff is indeed specialising in raunch. Some of it was really good. "Lick It (Before You Stick It)" is a very sensible instruction manual.
