Irving Lee Dorsey (December 24, 1924 – December 1, 1986) was an African American pop and R&B singer during the 1960s. His biggest hits were "Ya Ya" (1961) and "Working in the Coal Mine" (1966). Much of his work was produced by Allen Toussaint, with instrumental backing provided by The Meters

Less than a year had passed between this and Lee Dorsey's previous LP, Ride Your Pony, and Allen Toussaint was again the prime creative force, writing material and co-producing. The sound, however, had definitely taken a step in a funkier direction

Can You Hear Me. Lee Dorsey. Album Working in a Coalmine. Can You Hear Me Lyrics. Can you hear me? (Yeah) Can you hear me? (Yeah) I know you hear me (Yeah) Tell me, don't you hear me? (Yeah). If you want me, you can take off your shoes Jump about and shout about You've got nothing to lose. Everybody come here one by one And I'm here to tell you that we're gonna have some fun, now. Hey, hey (Yeah) It's all right (Yeah) Mmm, hmm. Can you hear me? (Yeah) Can you hear me? (Yeah) Hey, hey (Yeah) I know you hear me (Yeah).

Yes, first you hear the Lee Dorsey break 2 times, after that it's Sing A Simple Song. At least, I think it's like that). MrBlondNYC said 9 years ago: I think he did mix them both together because when the snare/hi-hat kicks in at 0:09 it sounds exactly like the snare/hi-hat Sing a Simple Song whereas it doesn't sound like that in Dorsey's song. Sil said 9 years ago: A missing bassdrum kick doesn't mean anything mostly because they can chop up all the sounds. But in this case you're right because nothing is chopped  . So, when it came about time to use it, we took that part 'I know I'll love you better,' we took the Lee Dorsey beat, we used the horns from another Mad Lads record ('Make This Young Lady Mine'), and that was it. It was fun. It was kinda my first time programming a beat.

Massive work by Lee Dorsey, recorded years after his classics in the 60s, and even funkier overall! Lee’s really cooking on all burners here, working with the production team of Allen Toussaint and Marshall Sehorn, and getting some incredible backing from The Meters – who are at the height of their powers during this period! In a way, the set’s one of the ultimate New Orleans sessions of the 70s – a culmination of all the best elements that were percolating together in the 60s indie underground, simmered together perfectly in a tighter 70s Polygram funk mode! Includes the massive original vers.

Probably not the first bass player to record a side-long bass solo (on Return to Forever’s 1978 live album) but perhaps the first to perform one you’d want to hear twice. Putting the bottom end into The Wrecking Crew, Carol Kaye played the indelible parts on ‘Midnight Confessions’, ‘River Deep – Mountain High’, The Beach Boys’ ‘Good Vibrations’ and an estimated 10,000 other tracks.
