"[3] Soileau took Chenier's advice and founded Maison de Soul, which was the first record label dedicated to producing zydeco music.
Soileau said that zydeco music sales in general and for Maison de Soul in particular were enhanced by the popularity of the 1987 film The Big Easy, which was set in and shot on location in New Orleans.
The film's soundtrack was released on Island Records and featured several zydeco and Cajun music artists, as well as New Orleans R&B and gospel groups.
[3] In addition to the market in Louisiana, Maison de Soul has exported its zydeco sound to the US East Coast and California, as well as Australia, Canada, and Europe.
[11] The song has been covered by artists as varied as Fats Domino, Rosie Ledet, Jean Knight, Terrance Simien, Doug Kershaw, Denise LaSalle, Jimmy C. Newman and John Fogerty.
