Fats Domino, the legendary New Orleans singer and piano player who took the '50s and '60s by storm ... is dead. Domino died in New Orleans, surrounded by friends and family, according to his daughter. His hits were epic ... "Blueberry Hill," "Ain't That a Shame" and "I'm Walkin'." Link Link to original video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Dl5hknXqXps Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | ||

Another legend gone. RIP Fats! Place your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark. “If in winning a race, you lose the respect of your fellow competitors, then you have won nothing” - Paul Elvstrom "The Great Dane" 1928 - 2016 | |||

Political Cynic |
sad news for Wednesday we are rapidly losing a lot of great talent and I don't see many people that can take their place my favorite cover of 'Ain't That a Shame' is by Cheap Trick [B] Against ALL enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC | |||

Ricky Nelson made a lot of money covering Domino hits when many radio stations avoided playing black records. Fats was the original, though.

I just heard that the only person in the 50s who sold more records is Elvis Presley. He sold more records than "Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly, and Little Richard combined." _______________________________________________________ despite them | |||

RIP, Maestro. Other people had to settle classical. | |||

He was GREAT! His arrangements have been praised for decades. Listen to the little instrumental bits in his records, they were the best. God bless Fats, and thank you for your music which I have enjoyed since your first record. | |||

Man, I've liked him since I was a kid in the 50's. He had a way of making singing seem easy. A sad day. .....never marry a woman who is mean to your waitress. | |||
