Fats Domino - New Orleans' most popular and prolific R&B recording artist.
The short list of recordings detail the years before the larger backup bands and
tremendous popularity diluted rhythm and blues.
It has been said that during the the later 1950s you could find copies of
"Blueberry Hill" and "Blue Monday" on every jukebox in America!!! After 1956, Fats Domino began recording more
popular music for white audiences, with rhythms and lyrics unrelated to his famous Domino-Bartholomew rhythm and blues
from the early 1950s.
