Fats is one artist I haven't looked into. I remember liking his most popular songs, "Blueberry Hill" and "Ain't That a Shame" when I was little. My dad was an amazing musician and could imitate Fats, Loui Armstrong, and others, played bugle, piano, trumpet (his specialty), and clarinet --- basically anything he picked up!! I didn't realize I liked Fats' vocals so much until this video. I'm so grateful for youtube!
The base of the blues, the base of rock and roll, the base of the shuffle.......and true honest notes notes with no licks......I live and love you fats! forever! Gonna be written on my grave stone.... I LOVE FATS DOMINO!
What a performer and what a fantastic band. My first musical love - drove my mother mad at first, but she loved Blueberry Hill ! Such a sad loss, but what a legacy he leaves.
The daddy of rock, the daddy of soul, even the daddy of the shuffle.....I love you Fats and your friends .... every note is true...no licks, no tricks.....just your very BIG talent. Thank you from the rest of the world and especially from Australia. May you eat gumbo in good health and every day brings you delight.

On this day in 1962 {March 4th} Fats Domino performed his covered version of "Jambalaya" on the CBS-TV musical variety program, 'The Ed Sullivan Show'... At the time he had two other songs on Billboard's Top 100 chart, his "You Win Again" was at #44, and the record's B-side, "Ida Jane", was at #90... "Jambalaya" entered the Top 100 on Dec. 11th, 1961 at #63, four weeks later it would peak at #30 {for 1 week}and it spent seven weeks on the Top 100... The record's B-side, "I Hear You Knocking", also charted, it peaked at #67... Between 1952 and 1968 the New Orleans native had sixty-eight records on the Top 100 chart, ten made the Top 10 with his biggest hit being "Blueberry Hill", it peaked at #2 {for 3 weeks} on Billboard's Most Played by Jockeys chart, and for the three weeks it was at #2, the #1 record was "Singing The Blues" by Guy Mitchell... Antoine Domino Jr. passed away at the age of 89 on October 24th, 2017... May he R.I.P.
FAT'S domino, always a classic performance, happy, rock& ROLL, magic NEW Orleans, MUSICAL GENIUS at it's finest....THE band is OUTTA SIGHT.....RIP IN THE AFTERLIFE.....
Grew up on he Bayou, ate crawfish pie and jambalaya, while listening to Domino on the radio. A true entertainer in a segregated south, over all odds to live an extraordinary life!
I have seen Fats Domino and his Orchestra on march 14, 1985 in Leeuwarden, The Netherlands. It was a amazing show. In my memory the stage turned from left to right throught te concerthall.
what a fantastic group of talented musicians fats was the greatest and so were the people around him he never really got the recognition he should have a very big influence on early rock and roll lee allen one of the best sax players in the world walking with mr lee
Wow- this is the first time I've seen Lee Allen on video- and yes, his largely unsung work was absolute poetry! I'm only grateful that Herb Hardesty, who played the breaks on most of Fats' hits is still blowing, and plays in New Orleans every year at JazzFest.
Another outstanding musician and great entertainer leaves us, for the orchestra in Heaven. Thanks for your wonderful music Fats, and for the fun times you gave us. Your music will live on. R.I.P.
And now he's been joined by the main writer of his hits (and often trumpet player in the band) Dave Bartholemew. I'd imagine posters are being printed off up in heaven for the reunion gig as I type this.
Batty My Irish-tush is wigglin' 🍀 IRISH AMERICAN ! County Kerry Lineage But my Great Uncle was from Scotland, gorgeous man and he married a stunningly Beautiful Woman - My Aunt and she was of the "Lynch family" they been here since 1770 , i.e. Lynchburg, Virginia. They were from County Cork. You guys have the best accent! Best!
Back around 1985 I saw Fats Domino and Rick Nelson in a concert in LA. Great concert, but unfortunately Rick met an untimely demise in a plane crash a few months later. Rick sang one of Fats tunes in the concert.
Yep, me too - lovely choice of notes, melodic soloing, and impeccable, raunchy tone. Great that Fats knew how to put on a terrific show by not hogging all the limelight!
quel artiste....et quel orchestre de cuivre. 1971 à la salle pleyel à Paris ou il finit le concert en démémagant le piano avec son ventre.Quel beau souvenir

One of his sons has been my customer for 20 years and I just found out Fats was his father last week. His son never mentioned it. Such a nice guy and he just didn't want to ride on his father's coat tails.
La band di Fats (che poi era quella di Dave Bartholomew) ha avuto sempre i migliori sassofonisti, basta pensare che oltre a Lee Allen aveva Herb Hardesty e Alvin Tyler. Senza parlare della migliore sezione ritmica dell'universo: Earl Palmer, Frank Fields ed Ernest McLean.
O m g . The Great Angel Band + 1 magic man , Impoverished planet Earth minus 1 , our hearts are saddened . I have no words , may your Celestial journey be happy Fats , you will be welcomed to The Ancient Bethal Band . Sleep softly ..
