about
Toussaint McCall (born in in Delhi, Louisiana, in 1934; died 7 August 2023) was an American R&B singer and organist remembered for his success with the haunting "Nothing Takes The Place Of You", which reached #5 in the US R&B charts on Ronn Records in 1967. Although further singles and an album followed, he did not repeat its success despite the quality of his singing and musicianship. He continued performing and recording for local labels, and in 1988 made a cameo appearance in the John Waters film Hairspray, lip-syncing to his hit song. McCall was inducted into the Northeast Louisiana Music Hall of Fame in 2016. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
