A 2007 photograph of Toussaint at a piano was used for the stamp. The photo was taken in New York City by Bill Tompkins.

Toussaint was born and raised in New Orleans and was exposed to music at an early age. He learned to play piano as a child and began playing in a band called The Flamingos as a teenager. Toussaint’s big break came at age 17 when he stood in for a well-known piano player during a performance with Earl King’s band in Prichard, Alabama. His first recording came two years later, and the rest is history.
