He was an eccentric local figure branding himself as the “Emperor of the Universe” and using the catch phrase “Burn K-Doe, Burn!” for his explosive radio shows. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHe is, of course, best known for his 1961 Billboard #1 pop and R\u0026amp;B hit ‘Mother-In-Law’, also the title track of our album. The song was written by Allen Toussaint who initially struggled to get an acceptable take. Thanks to back-up singer Willie Harper they gave it another try and struck gold. Toussaint also played piano on the finished recording. Sadly, K-Doe was unable to repeat the success although he did break the R\u0026amp;B Top 40 with ‘Te- Ta-Te-Ta-Ta’ featured here and with ‘Later For Tomorrow’ in 1967. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 1994 K-Doe opened his own bar in downtown New Orleans known as the Mother-In-Law Lounge which remains as a shrine to the singer to this day. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Charly","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48426885677254,"sku":"njl1793065996463","price":23.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/7338\/7974\/files\/ernie-k-doe---mother-in-law-lp_1.jpg?v=1793066004","url":"https:\/\/multitoolgear.shop\/products\/ernie-k-doe-mother-in-law-lp","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
