Fats Domino 1928-2017
As you’ve likely heard, Fats Domino passed away yesterday at the age of 89. Domino is most known for his biggest hit “Blueberry Hill,” which reached number 2 in 1957. “Blueberry Hill” was one of eleven Top 10 hits in the rock ‘n’ roll era for Domino, the last of which was “Walking to New Orleans” in 1960.
The music of Domino’s time not that far removed from the music of my youth. 50′ s , 60’s music might just be the best pop music has to offer.
