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 \u003cstrong\u003eProfessor Longhair\u003c\/strong\u003e. 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 \u003cstrong\u003eSonny \u0026amp; Cher\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eCanned Heat\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eFrank Zappa\u003c\/strong\u003e. Years later, he developed his persona of \u003cstrong\u003eDr. John The Night Tripper\u003c\/strong\u003e and his 1968 debut album, \u003cem\u003eGris Gris\u003c\/em\u003e, was a phenomenon, attracting fans across the musical spectrum. Its \u003cem\u003e“I Walk On Guilded Splinters”\u003c\/em\u003e has been covered by \u003cstrong\u003eThe Allman Brothers\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eCher\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ePaul Weller\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eThe Neville Brothers\u003c\/strong\u003e, and was a centerpiece of \u003cstrong\u003eHumble Pie\u003c\/strong\u003e’s classic \u003cem\u003ePerformance Rockin’ The Fillmore\u003c\/em\u003e. More singles and albums followed including \u003cem\u003e“Iko Iko”\u003c\/em\u003e (from \u003cem\u003eDr. John’s Gumbo\u003c\/em\u003e) and \u003cem\u003e“Right Place Wrong Time”\u003c\/em\u003e (which hit #9 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1973.) Both \u003cem\u003eGris Gris\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eGumbo\u003c\/em\u003e were listed on Rolling Stone’s Top 500 Albums of All Time, and Dr. John performed \u003cem\u003eIn The Right Place\u003c\/em\u003e’s \u003cem\u003e“Such A Night”\u003c\/em\u003e at \u003cstrong\u003eThe Band\u003c\/strong\u003e’s 1976 farewell concert—immortalized in \u003cem\u003eThe Last Waltz\u003c\/em\u003e. He would go on to win six Grammy awards and in 2011 was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame by \u003cstrong\u003eJohn Legend\u003c\/strong\u003e.
