Willie Harper

**Willie Harper** was a soulful force in New Orleans’ R&B scene during the late 1960s and early ’70s, best known for his raw, emotive vocals and collaborations with the legendary Sansu Records. His gritty tracks like *"It Ain't Funny"* and *"Soulful"*—part of *The Sansu Recordings* collection—showcase his ability to blend bluesy grit with infectious grooves, embodying the earthy charm of the era. Though he never reached mainstream fame, Harper’s music, including the bittersweet *"I Don’t Need You Anymore / A Certain Girl"* (a double-sided gem), remains a favorite among deep soul collectors and a testament to the magic of New Orleans’ unsung session talents.
