Still in Louisiana, the indestructible Fortune Teller was one of Spellman's few hits, a New Orleans mambo written by Allen Toussaint under the name of Naomi Neville. Fortune Teller's life, of course, stretched far beyond Spellman's original version. A staple of early Rolling Stones, it figured on Got live if you want it! (overdubbed with screams to appear as live), as well as in the formative sets of the Who, the Hollies and many more.
