frogman Jazz City Recording Studio at 748 Camp Street with Cosimo Matassa and his engineer Skip Godwin is a shadow of his previous studios in terms of profile, let alone sound. Its main client is Instant Records, located across the street from the new studio but itself a declining organization. Clarence 'Frogman' Henry records an album for Roulette there.

New Orleans is kept in the musical spotlight by Johnny Adams' Nashville-recorded hits for Shelby Singleton's SSS International group; and Toussaint-Sehorn score with the Meters' funky soul instrumental sounds for New York-based Josie recorded in New Orleans, also in Georgia at Atlanta and Macon.

Eddie Bo scores an unlikely hit when Hook and Sling Part I breaks into the Hot 100 for Al Scramuzza's Scram label, distributed by Scepter of New York.
