Zoomsoulblue Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 One of thouse legendary story's - if it was raining in the morning after the "twisted wheel" they would play it keeps raining by Fats - RIP big man 2
Geoff Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 He certainly had a good innings, 89 years old. One of the most successful rhythm and blues artistes and a pioneer of rock'n'roll. First hit in 1949/50 with The Fat Man followed by loads of others, many now standards in both R&B and R&R. I remember hearing and liking his records when I was at school: I'm Ready, Be My Guest, I Want To Walk You Home, Walking To New Orleans and these are the first to spring to mind. RIP Fats, thanks for the music. :
Bruv Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 Very sad news another great has gone, loved Ain't That A Shame by Fats his singing was absolutely effortless but it sounded so good, proper music from a by gone era. . R.I.P. Fats Domino 1
Corbett80 Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 What a legend. Truly one of the greatest artists ever. God bless Fats! x 1

Guest son of stan Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 Long time fan of Fats and New Orleans music. There was a really excellent docu on Sky Arts a few months back that will probably be coming back now so look out for it!
