Toussaint McCall
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Toussaint McCall (b 1934, Monroe, Louisiana) is an American R&B singer and organist.
His one major success was with the haunting Nothing Takes The Place Of You, which reached #5 in the 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.
