The most popular singer of classic New Orleans R&B, Fats Domino sold more albums then any other black 1950s rock and roll singer. While he may not have been the most flamboyant or charismatic rock and roller of the 50s, he was the person most rooted in the worlds of the blues, R&B and various types that gave rise to rock. His boogie-woogie playing style and relaxed vocals anchored a long list of hits from the mid '50s to the early '60s. Posted by Andrew on Monday, 06/3/2013 @ 12:07pm |

The most popular performer of the classic New Orleans R&B sound, Fats Domino may not have been the most flamboyant, threatening, or innovative rock and roll singer of the 50s, but he certainly was the singer who was most rooted in the blues, rhythm and blues and various strains of jazz that gave birth to rock n' roll.

Eerie for me. I was just talking to someone about how Fats is the oldest surviving significant rocker. :( Rest in peace, Fat Man. Posted by Paul K. on Wednesday, 10/25/2017 @ 11:17am |

R.I.P. to an amazingly talented legend (seriously, listen to some of his piano runs on his earlier Imperial singles [particularly Boogie Woogie Baby, She's My Baby, and Hey! La Bas Boogie]), which I'm listening to as I type this message). The Legendary Imperial Recordings box set is essential listening for anyone who even considers themselves a Fats Domino fan.
