Re: RIP Fats Domino
With the passing this year of Chuck Berry and the great Fats Domino, there are now only 3 members of the initial class of inductees into the Rock Hall of Fame still with us: Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, and Don Everly of The Everly Brothers.
My grandfather even liked Fats Domino, being a keyboard man himself.

Re: RIP Fats Domino
Back in the day, RadioDude's play of artists like Fats Domino was limited. However, I remember Blueberry Hill like it was yesterday. He was an amazing artist.

Re: RIP Fats Domino
I still have TLAF's 45s of Blueberry Hill and I'm Walkin'.
In her card and gift store, TLAF used to have the radio on for company, during the slow times.
Because she was such a Big Band fan and a great swing dancer in her day, she really liked a lot of early rock and roll - the stuff you could jitterbug to or (and this was especially the case), the R&B covers of standards. She still loved her Dean Martin and Sinatra and Perry Como, but she was open to hearing the new music and liked a lot of it.
She would have been 100 on Nov. 7. I miss her.
Especially when I started dialing her number yesterday to tell her Fats Domino had passed.
