Dr. John's longtime confidant and former personal manager, Paul Howrilla, was responsible for moving Dr. John from Los Angeles to New York and securing "crossover" work, as well as modifying Dr. John's image from the 1970s to the 1990s. Paul Howrilla was the brains behind the scenes, as Dr. John would attest. They remained close friends. Dr. John also provided vocals for Popeyes Chicken & Biscuits' "Luv dat chicken  ..." jingle, as well as the theme song ("My Opinionation") for the early-1990s television sitcom "Blossom". A version of "Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans?" with Harry Connick Jr. was released on Connick's album "20" and VHS "Singin' & Swingin in 1990. Dr. John moved back to Louisiana in 2009.
