Charly Records are proud to announce the first ever long-play UK reissue of the New Orleans masterpiece, Mother-In-Law, penned and produced by Allen Toussaint and Ernie K-Doe. Ernest Kador Jr was born in New Orleans in 1933 and adopted the pseudonym Ernie K-Doe for his flamboyant on-stage performances. He was an eccentric local figure branding himself as the \"Emperor of the Universe\"and using the catch phrase \"Burn K-Doe, Burn!\"for his explosive radio shows. He is, of course, best known for his 1961 Billboard #1 pop and R\u0026amp;B hit 'Mother-In-Law', also the title track of our album. The song was written by Allen Toussaint who initially struggled to get an acceptable take. Thanks to back-up singer Willie Harper they gave it another try and struck gold. Toussaint also played piano on the finished recording. Sadly, K-Doe was unable to repeat the success although he did break the R\u0026amp;B Top 40 with 'Te-Ta-Te-Ta-Ta' featured here and with 'Later For Tomorrow' in 1967. In 1994 K-Doe opened his own bar in downtown New Orleans known as the Mother-In-Law Lounge which remains as a shrine to the singer to this day.","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50733501776187,"sku":"5060767445259","price":29.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0840\/1597\/2667\/files\/4351116-3337809.jpg?v=1763480899","url":"https:\/\/store.loudwire.com\/products\/ernie-k-doe-mother-in-law","provider":"Loudwire","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
