Biography
Chris Kenner wrote a number of enduring New Orleans RB classics, although subsequent cover versions eclipsed all but I Like It Like That, his Grammy-nominated greatest hit in 1961. Kenner co-wrote Sick and Tired with Fats Domino and charted with it in 1957 on Imperial, but Domino's version blew it out of the water. Signing with Joe Babashak's Instant label, Kenner's I Like It Like That, Land of 1000 Dances, and Something You Got sported Allen Toussaint's rolling piano behind Kenner's raw vocals. ~ Bill Dahl, Rovi
