Ask an American soul fan to name their favourite New Orleans’ artists, and they will probably choose Allen Toussaint, Lee Dorsey, The Meters, Irma Thomas and Robert Parker.  Ask a European or Japanese soul fan the same question and they are more likely to select Willie Tee, or an even lesser known artist such as Richard Caiton, a forgotten figure of the New Orleans soul and R&B scene.  Even few New Orleans musicians from his era recall his name.
However, in Europe and Japan, Richard’s emotive, soulful recordings have become revered, and are highly sought after.  Richard Caiton’s name has been kept alive over the last forty years by fans outside the United States.  In overseas R&B/soul record collecting circles, some copies of his original singles have changed hands for well in excess of £1000, and in the last few years the prices have escalated.
Richard James Caiton was born on December 26th, 1944.  One of an extended family of seven children, Richard grew up near the St Bernard housing project in New Orleans.  Whilst he attended Clark High School, he taught himself to play piano and he sang in the church choir; the church in question here being the St John’s Divine Baptist.  Back then, Richard could barely afford to buy records, but listened to the radio a lot; he especially liked the Motown Sound and Curtis Mayfield.  Smokey Johnson lived across the street and he was a great influence.
