  • The Meters (рус. Счётчики) — американская фанк-группа из Нового Орлеана. Группа исполняла и записывала свою собственную музыку с конца 1960-х и до 1977 года, когда распалась. Как пишет музыкальный сайт AllMusic, коллектив определил звучание новоорлеанского фанка, и не только на своих собственных записях, но и как аккомпанирующая группа для множества музыкантов, в том числе для многих, кого продюсировал Алан Туссен.

  • The Meters är en musikgrupp som bildades i New Orleans, Louisiana, USA i mitten av 1960-talet. De skivdebuterade 1969 och gruppen bestod då av Art Neville (keyboard, sång), George Porter Jr. (bas), Leo Nocentelli (gitarr) och Joseph Modeliste (trummor). Cyril Neville tillkom på percussion på 1970-talet. De blev husband på Allen Toussaints skivbolag och spelade bland annat på Lee Dorseys skivor. Deras första och kändaste hitsingel den instrumentala "Cissy Strut" (#23 på Billboard Hot 100) släpptes 1969 och var typisk för deras lite "tillbakalutade" funkmusik. De nådde sedan Billboardlistan ett flertal gånger fram till 1977 men hade mest framgång 1969-1970 med låtar som "Chicken Strut" och "Look-ka Py Py". 1973 medverkade de på Dr. Johns album In the Right Place. 1975 och 1976 var de öppning (sv)
