Antoine "Fats" Domino, Jr. (born February 26, 1928) is an American pianist and singer-songwriter. Domino released five gold (million-copy-selling) records before 1955. He also had 35 Top 40 American hits. His musical style is based on traditional rhythm and blues ensembles of bass, piano, electric guitar, drums, and saxophone.
Domino was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. The Domino family were of French Creole background; Louisiana Creole French was his first language. Domino was delivered at home by his midwife grandmother. Like most families in the Lower Ninth Ward, Domino's family were new arrivals from Vacherie, Louisiana.
His father was a well-known violinist, and Domino was inspired to play himself. He eventually learned from his uncle, jazz guitarist Harrison Verrett.
Even after his success he continued to live in the old neighborhood. While his large home was more than enough room for his 13 children, he still preferred to sleep in a hammock outside.

"Blue Monday" from Fats Domino's 'Live From Austin TX' performance. Buy it today on Amazon http://amzn.to/1djHSK4 or iTunes http://smarturl.it/FatsDominoLFAT. First of all, like his hero Louis Armstrong a generation earlier, Fats is synonymous with New Orleans. Not to mention the early days of rock-and-roll. Who doesn't love the infectious lyrics and floating melodies of "Blueberry Hill," "Ain't That A Shame" or "Blue Monday?" Music was practically a birthright for Antoine Domino, Jr., one of nine kids from a poor family. He never made it past 4th grade, but he was already playing boogie-woogie piano.
"Blueberry Hill" is a popular song published in 1940 best remembered for its 1950s rock n' roll version by Fats Domino. The music was written by Vincent Rose, the lyrics by John L. Rooney. It was recorded six times in 1940. Victor Records released the recording by the Sammy Kaye Orchestra with vocals by Tommy Ryan on May 31, 1940 (catalog #26643, with the flip side "Maybe"; matrix #51050). Gene Krupa's version was issued on the Okeh label (#5672) on June 3. Other 1940 recordings were by: Glenn Miller on Bluebird (10768), Kay Kyser, Russ Morgan, Gene Autry (also in the 1941 film The Singing Hill), Connee Boswell, and Jimmy Dorsey. The largest 1940 hit was Glenn Miller. Louis Armstrong's 1949 recording charted in the Billboard Top 40. It was an international hit in 1956 for Fats Domino, and...

Antoine "Fats" Domino was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA, on the 26th of February 1928. When he was a 7 year old kid, he learned piano from his ,much older, brother-in-law Harrison Verrett. His piano playing was influenced by boogie woogie pianists like Albert Ammons, Meade Lux Lewis and his triplet piano style came from Little Willie Littlefield, who,by the way,lives in the Netherlands. His first record was "The Fat man", recorded in 1949 and became a R & B hit in 1950 and a gold record in 1953. His cooperation with the bandleader Dave Bartholomew resulted in an almost endless chain of R & B and Top 100 hit records. He also played the piano on Lloyd Price's millionseller "Lawdy miss clawdy." Fats performed in 4 Rock & Roll movies, "The girl can't help it, "Shake rattle and rock", "...

Director Joe Lauro describes how his Fats Domino documentary came to be. Fats Domino and The Birth of Rock 'n' Roll gets its broadcast premiere Feb 26 at 10/9c on PBS. Please SUBSCRIBE if you enjoyed! http://bit.ly/1JmUCu5 **More info & videos below** Joe Lauro, director of Fats Domino and The Birth of Rock ‘n’ Roll, details the hurdles and challenges when making a film about a living legend, and a very private one at that. The first hurdle was finding archival footage of Fats Domino's performances from the 1950s and 1960s. Lauro found the footage he needed to go forward with the film in French National Archives, of all places. Lauro also had to win Fats Domino's own interest and trust in Lauro to make a documentary film about his career. Lauro was introduced to Domino by a friend and t...
Assorted clips from a 1957 Perry Como Show featuring Fats Domino. And this is indeed a slice of 1950s television -- even including an S&H; Green Stamps commercial! Fats performs the songs "It's You I Love" and "I'm Walkin' " as well as participating in some skits. The closing segment also features singer Jo Stafford and comedian Jackie Miles joining in. Rock 'n' Roll music -- at least in its 1950s incarnation -- was still new enough at the time to generate the usual mainstream apprehension that greets the unfamiliar. Perry Como plays the role here to the hilt of the bewildered guy caught in the middle of the onslaught, but in reality he was supportive of the emerging '50s rock acts by inviting them on his show, and during this period he even recorded some rock tunes of his own. Antoine Do...
Northwest Music Promoter Pat Mason (1907-2001) shares a story involving Little Richard and Fats Domino. This video clip is an outtake from the upcoming documentary THE MEANING OF LOUIE. The interview took place at Pat's home in Seaside, Oregon on October 26, 1996. Pat Mason was one of the most influential booking agents in the Pacific Northwest. In fact, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, and Richard Berry could all thank Pat Mason for setting up their very first shows in that region, as well as countless other musicians too numerous to mention. Willie Nelson was hired by Pat as a disc jockey for a radio station in Vancouver, Washington. Gene Vincent spent a year living in Pat Mason's basement. Paul Revere & the Raiders hired Pat Mason as a tour manager when they became big rock stars. Afte...

Although many musicians have recorded Bartholomew's songs, his partnership with Fats Domino produced some of his greatest successes. In the mid 1950s they wrote more than forty hits for Imperial Records, including two songs that reache...
