Fats Domino is dead

  Legendary Blues and R and B singer Fats Domino is dead.  Fat could play the fucking piano like no other and he shined shoes in his early age in order to save up and purchase a piano. I recall my grandfather talking about how Fats Domino could shine the shoes and he said Mr Domino had the ability to get off the toughest scratches and marks of a fucking shoe. Fats learned to play the piano and was an early rock n roll star fucking able to turn the piano and a guitar on his ass he was so fucking good. I didn't even know this guy was still alive and looking at his legacy I am surprised how little Fats Domino received attention in the past three decades of life. Most people would of thought he was long dead like Elvis,Chubby Checker, and Buddy Holly as evidently Fats was still not playing clubs an performing shows much like many sixties and seventies era performers are still trying to maintain their lifestyle by performing and sounding like half of their former selves with their horse voices of today. As far as Fats Domino goes whenever I hear old clips of him performing I don't really see what the hype was or what was so special of this performer and any different than what one could get on the religious channel on cable and watchign a Black choir perform.

For Fats Domino there was none of this as the New Orleans bred singer knew when to call it a career and settle in top the pasture ahhh much like a fat old horse with a hoarse voice. Fats was working at a mattress store and then playing at night in the late forties and he definitely benefited form the push for racial equality through performance and tributes of entertainers as the entertainment sector of society was skyrocketing and black performers like him were the rocks stars of the liberal media bent on a social crusade. Fats Domino though look like he belonged more in the stock yards as he over ate himself silly and needed these extra cow  calories to perform at such an intense screaming level. If Fats was really so musically talented and a genius as they say wouldn't this guy of singlehandely invented rap music as well?  Somehow this clown inspired the Beatles and the British invasion bands of the sixties as perhaps it was the angle of progressing American racial relations that was really behind the British interest in what was black voice and music long only of interest in this community
