Fats Domino

It seems like most of my posts have dealt with guitar plays. So for something different, this week I am going to do posts about piano players. First up Fats Domino, one of the original rock and roll pianists.

Here is a clip from the 1956 movie, "Shake, Rattle & Roll". A movie where the prudes in the town try to shut down rock & roll. This movie theme has been remade several times, but this is probably the original. The clip is "Ain't That a Shame".



Here is a video from 30 years later, his Austin City Limits appearance in 1986. Since this is a Monday post, it is appropriate that the song is "Blue Monday".



Fats is coming up on 82 years old. He has always been associated with New Orleans. In fact during Hurricane Katrina his house was flooded and her had to be rescued by a Coast Guard helicopter. So it is only fitting that the last video in this post should be "Walking to New Orleans".
