The Meters and Lee Dorsey samples got me started in my music career. I had the pleasure of meeting Leo on a plane while headed to work. Class act all the way, we chopped it up and I passed his connection to Battle Cat to share with the rest of the fam.

RIP

Ok... If you dont know about the Meters... Just know this... They were a four piece band... Bass... Guitar... Organ.... Drums... Art was on organ... Leo Nocentelli was guitar... George Porter on Bass... And last but not least... Joseph Zigbo Modeliste on drums(one of the best drummers ever)... Those 4 dudes KILLED SHIT... BOTTOMLINE... THEY ARE TOP 3 IN MY OPINION WHEN IT COMES TO FUNK AND SOUL.... IF YOU DONT KNOW ABOUT THE METERS... PLEAAE DO THE HOMEWORK... YOU WONT BE DISSAPOINTED
