(CNN) -- Rock 'n' roll pioneer Fats Domino was among the thousands of New Orleans residents plucked from rising floodwaters, his daughter said Thursday.
Karen Domino White, who lives in New Jersey, identified her father in a picture taken Monday night by a New Orleans Times-Picayune photographer.
The photograph shows Domino -- the singer behind the 1950s hits "Ain't That a Shame" and "Blueberry Hill" -- being helped off a boat near his home in the city's Lower 9th Ward.

Well that is good news! Any word on Aaron Neville's nieces? He tried to get them to leave with him and others, but they didn't. He was very distraught, no one has heard from them as far as I know.

Next thing you know, they'll find Louis Armstrong and bring him back to life.

I was wondering about Fats just prior

lived in NO.
Glad to know he's okay.

Wait... THAT was Fats Domino in that picture? That was the youngest 77-year-old I've ever seen.
