Crescent City Funk: Chocolate Milk

Posted over 4 years ago
Here is a little info on Chocolate Milk from their drummer. These guys were really great in the late 70's. There stuff has been covered by a lot of funk bands. "We were Allen Toussaint's studio band from the mid 70s to late 70s.Along with the Meters, we played on just about everything that toussaint produced. on many songs, it was half of the meters and half of chocolate milk for the rythym section. We backed all of toussaint's live gigs. many people don't know that many of those funky songs by other artists recorded in toussaint's studio had the rythym section of chocolate milk. Back then,Toussaint didn't credit the names of the backing muscians. we recorded so much that I have forgotten most of the songs I have played on. Aaron Neville had to remind me that I played on the later version of "tell it like it is".
