Hey Todd - maybe not as much as you'd expect. I'm pretty sure Wardell Q. did most of the Stax stuff (the Mr. Big Stuff album) from '71 and maybe the singles from '72. Basically anything recorded at Malaco ... but the rest was other producers on smaller labels.

↳ Jason Isaac @10:44
Thanks Jason. I see Meaux on the singles where credited. He was a crazy dude. A show or two about hime would be fab!

Right, I mentioned Meaux earlier - he signed Jean Knight to her first record deal and produced most or all of her stuff on Jetstream and Tribe. His nickname Crazy Cajun seemed fitting after reading up on him

When I lived in NOLA I used to do my laundry across the street from that store (Jim Russell's Records). Every time I put my clothes in the dryer I'd go in there and buy a couple of records. I never spent so much on laundry in my life! It was a great store.

My memory of seeing Ms. Knight multiple times was the fact she always mentioned Mr. Big Stuff put her son thru medical school! She was always so gracious and thankful. She often had to be gently nudged off of stage on those package shows in the 90s, 00s, & 10s.
