His combination of New Orleans R\u0026amp;B, blues, jazz, funk, and rock permeated the musical landscape of the late ’60s and beyond. While quite young, he was influenced by piano players, including Professor Longhair. As a teenage musical prodigy, Mac was a songwriter, arranger, A\u0026amp;R guy, and a producer for Ace Records, running sessions with legendary artists. During the 1960s, as a “first call” Los Angeles studio musician, he honed his chops doing session work for artists including Sonny and Cher, Canned Heat, and Frank Zappa.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYears later, he developed his persona of Dr. John The Night Tripper and his 1968 debut album, \u003ci\u003eGris Gris\u003c\/i\u003e, was a phenomenon, attracting fans across the musical spectrum. Its “I Walk On Guilded Splinters” has been covered by The Allman Brothers, Cher, Paul Weller, The Neville Brothers, and was a centerpiece of Humble Pie’s classic Performance Rockin’ The Fillmore.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore singles and albums followed including “Iko Iko” (from Dr. John’s Gumbo) and “Right Place Wrong Time” (which hit #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1973.)

He would go on to win six Grammy awards and in 2011 was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by John Legend.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow, his singles from those early and influential Atco\/Atlantic years have been collected on\u003ci\u003e Gris Gris Gumbo Ya Ya: Singles 1968–1974\u003c\/i\u003e. 26 sides of pure musical medicine from Dr. John.
