1 | Although Dorsey had several major hits in the 1950s and 1960s, when the label he recorded for, Fire Records, went out of business in 1963, he went back to what he had been doing before he became a singer: working in an auto-body shop. In 1965 record producer Allen Toussaint, who had worked with Dorsey in the early 1960s, returned from a two-year hitch in the army, he looked up Dorsey and signed him to another contract. His biggest hit to date, "Working in a Coal Mine", came out in 1966, but he was unable to capitalize on its success and his follow-up records didn't do much. He eventually returned to the auto-body shop business. |
