Browning Bryant: Blinded By Love (1973, demo)
Allen Toussaint composed and produced "Blinded By Love" for Browning Bryant, a former child star who was trying to transition to a musical career as an adult. This demo ended up being recorded and fully produced on Bryant's self-titled 1974 debut and the song (and album) features Toussaint on piano and members of The Meters as a backing band. "Blinded by Love" would go onto to be more prominently recorded by the likes of Sam and Dave, Lydia Pense w/ Cold Blood, The Waters, Etta James, etc.
