In honor of Toussaint's birthday on January 14, we're spending this week looking back at some fantastic tributes that our 2016 Piano Night performers paid to him last April along with a couple of great performances from Toussaint himself. See the whole collection here.

Today's feature is from Crescent City Blues & BBQ Fest 2015, one of Toussaint's final performances in his hometown. He joined The Funky Meters onstage for 'Ride Your Pony,' a song written by Toussaint and first released by Lee Dorsey in 1965.
