Fats Domino, who sang such hits as "Ain't That A Shame" and "Blueberry Hill," died Tuesday, the coroner's office said. He was 89.
At least in appearance, Domino was no Elvis Presley. He stood 5-feet-5 and weighed more than 200 pounds (91 kilograms), with a wide, boyish smile and a haircut as flat as an album cover.

I’ve lost my thrill.
RIP
(I had no idea he was still alive)
I hope he found his Thrill.
Will Ronnie Howard/”Richie” be at the funeral?
Go find your thrill...
RIP
Hope he’s resting in “My Blue Heaven”.
Now I get to mourn him again. RIP Fats!
Ain’t That a Shame
lol.
Just an ordinary brief scene in Happy Days. So why do we remember that after all these years??
Benson, and now Fats. Sad.
Richie sang the theme to “Blueberry Hill” several times during the series as I remember (whenever he met a hot girl.) It was his expected reaction.

Yep, he’s been Walking to New Orleans since 1960 and deserves to RIP.
Yep, I remember just one scene. But yeah, there were others....
Wow, had no idea he was still with us. How long has it been since he was in the public eye? Seems like decades.
Funny you mention this but I thought the same. Didn’t he passed away a few years back? I wonder if this is that Mandela Affect.

The Times-Picayune
He almost died during Katrina. After a few days of looking for him they found him floating down a road hanging on to a tree limb or something. He lost his house and everything else, but the good Lord let him live for a few more years.
He’s up on Blueberry Hill...
RIP
