Allen Toussaint Stamps

Allen Toussaint Stamps
Forever 82¢ | Sheet Stamp Format

New Orleans is a globally important music city, and New Orleanian Allen Toussaint (1938–2015) may have done more than anyone else to shape the special blend of rhythm and blues for which the city is beloved, and to put it out to the wider world. The 48th stamp in the Black Heritage series celebrates this virtuoso pianist, singer, songwriter, composer, arranger, and producer responsible for scores of hits across multiple genres, including “Fortune Teller,” “All These Things,” and “Southern Nights.”

The stamp artwork is a photograph of a smiling Toussaint at the piano, taken in New York City in 2007. Dressed in black, he is set off from the black background by purplish lighting.

The Allen Toussaint stamp is being issued as a Forever® stamp. This Forever stamp will always be equal in value to the current First-Class Mail® one-ounce price.
