New Orleans musician Fats Domino, second from right, meets with the Beatles -- from left, Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and John Lennon -- in a trailer behind New Orleans' City Park stadium before the band's concert there in September 1964. The Beatles were big fans of Domino's and wanted to meet him while in town.
It's a good thing they pointed out that Fats is the second one on the right or I would have never known it. I may have even confused him with Ringo Starr.sarc
Lady Madonna is reportedly, played in a Fats Domino style. I hear it.
Rush Limbaugh revived Clarence “Frogman” Henry’s career a bit by using his “Ain’t Got No Home” for his homeless update.
Thank you for posting this article and picture. I am a fan of the music of both Fats Domino and the Beatles.
I remember my older sister had a yellow 45 Fats Domino record. I don’t remember what caused it but she made me really mad one day so I took her yellow 45 and I flung it out the door, it flew really well just like a frisbee.
I eventually learned to like his music, but I think I enjoyed flying his records more than listening to them.
I play in a senior center band (65-98 year old members) in Ohio. We play mostly songs from the 20’s-40’s mostly. My twin brother plays guitar in Virginia. One night he called me. We were talking guitar and he asked me if I was still playing the old songs. He suggested I play some of the 50’s and 60’s music. I asked if he liked Fats Domino, and he said Blueberry Hill was one of his favorite songs. I told him Blueberry Hill was written in 1940.
