FATS DOMINO HAS DIED. 1928-2017. FATS DOMINO HAS DIED. 1928-2017. I DIDN'T REALIZE HE WAS STILL ALIVE. I REMEMBER LISTENING TO HIS RECORDS BACK IN THE 1950s AND 1960s. READ THE REST OF THE WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE IF YOU DON'T KNOW WHO HE WAS. HE WAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST ROCK-AND-ROLL STARS AT THE START OF ROCK AND ROLL. FROM WIKIPEDIA: Antoine "Fats" Domino, Jr. (February 26, 1928 – October 24, 2017) was an American pianist and singer-songwriter of French Creole descent. Five of his records released before 1955 sold over a million copies and were certified as gold records and he had 35 records in the U.S. Billboard Top 40. [1] During 1955 to 1960, he had eleven top 10 hits and his record sales were reportedly surpassed only by Elvis Presley.[2] Domino's musical style was based on traditional rhythm and blues, accompanied by saxophones, bass, piano, electric guitar, and drums.[1] Domino was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, the eighth and final child of Antoine Caliste Domino (1879–1964) and Marie-Donatille Gros (1886–1971). The Domino family was of French Creole background. Louisiana Creole French was his first language. Antoine was born at home with the assistance of his grandmother, a midwife. His name was initially given as Anthony on his birth certificate but was later corrected.[3] His family had newly arrived in the Lower Ninth Ward from Vacherie, Louisiana.[4] His father was a well-known violinist.[citation needed] Domino learned to play the piano from his brother-in-law, the jazz guitarist Harrison Verrett,[1][5] while studying shipping management at his local community college. Even after his success, he continued to live in his old neighborhood. His large home was roomy enough for his 13 children, but he still preferred to sleep in a hammock outside. | |
