I believe Fats Domino never got the full credit he really deserved mainly because of the wild men of rock and roll such as Little Richard, Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry and Jerry Lee Lewis. Just my humble opinion.

My introduction to music was via 78RPM records in our basement jukebox. My favorites were Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis and Fats Domino. I did not like Pat Boone, Doris Day, and not into Elvis, although I liked some of his fast, dance tunes. I owned several Fats 33 1/3 LPs, that I no longer have. Hello Internet ~ I seek out Fat's songs, but rarely the other two. I think I am going to binge listen to him right now.

I think we kind of forgot how famous he was. I also think he’s almost being punished (at least as far as name recognition in 2022) for never having any scandals or drug addictions like other rock n rollers from that era did (no such thing as bad publicity and all that). It sounds like he had an interesting life and I for one would love to see a good bio pic about him. But they would have to find the perfect actor to do him justice.

But then I heard he had been living in Louisiana and they lost their home in 2005 Katrina. I was sad to hear he had passed away before they could rebuild it back. Peace be with his friends and family.
