Fats Domino

A giant figure of R&B and rock & roll, the New Orleans singer and pianist has contributed scores of beloved classics to pop history.

Biography

The most popular exponent of the classic New Orleans R&B sound, Fats Domino sold more records than any other black rock & roll star of the 1950s. His relaxed, lolling boogie-woogie piano style and warm, easygoing vocals anchored a long series of national hits from the mid-'50s to the early '60s. Through it all, his basic approach rarely changed. He may not have been one of early rock's most charismatic, innovative, or threatening figures, but he was certainly one of its most consistent. ~ Richie Unterberger
