this song is so amazing, i love this kinda music, i have to move when i hear this i can not stay stil :p Why has music changed from something awesome like this to the crap we have to listen to now^^
In 1949 Jerry Lee had already played the piano for 7 years and being self-taught from 7 years old he had to more or less found the style of his own. With some inspiration from Moon Mullican and Hank Williams.
Jerry Lee Lewis was influenced by Moon Mullican and Hank Williams. Fats first record came out in 1949(The Fat Man) and at that time Jerry already more or less had found his own style. Jerry have heard Ray Charles when he played at one of the local joints, but not he was that inspired as such.
Fats makes me think of a quote from the bluesbrothers movie every time i hear his songs. "This music is powerful enough to turn goat piss into gasoline"

i first heard this song when i was 15, and im becoming 18 in september. i loved fats, i love bo diddley even more --- good music is not copyrighted to the senior citizens! there is one thing that i always want to point out when i see comments about how music in the past is gr8 and how they hate the new music without any idea about it. just look at those great athletes, like grant hill, who alter his game to fit in the game in late career. be one of those rather than to be an Allen Iverson.
I Love Fats Domino, such a happy guy, full of life. Yet somehow I have to think he's more than 200lbs. It's pretty crazy to think that back in the 40's and 50's they considered 200lbs to be fat.. and now you see blimps walking around everywhere you go. Oh well. Great tuneage.
This great man has been Rockin longer than any artist alive.. He' s an original, a pioneer, and a class act like no other. Truly one of the Kings of Rock and Roll
I shook his sweaty hands in Bensheim, Germany, he's really a big shot, one of the first rockers, maybe the first ever. Very smpathic good man, he laughted as me as if he was 14
@blacksheep6509 Guess what, nobody gives a fuck how old you are. What the fuck are we supposed to do? bake you a goddamn cake and have a party to show you how proud we all are of you?
@lanceyoakem You have a very filthy mouth! Why don't you go back to school and learn how to converse with people, instead of your dog! IF, you are married, I hope you don't let your kids hear you talk like this, but then, maybe you just don't care, and in that case, you're nothing but a loser, pal!
Jerry Lee Lewis says nobody influenced him but I'm sure fats domino was one of the artists that he heard and influnenced him years before he became famous. Many of the great artists of popular music in the beginning were African American, and we owe a debt of gratitude to artists like Mr. Domino for their contributions and talent!!
@charger19691 African American made the best music around that time but now they are making hip-hop crap all about how fucked up the world is now and about bitches, drugs and violence. The is no soul in it.
@sandmaster117 It's true & sad but music reflects your environment. They're telling their story just like they did years ago. If you have a f&*!%^ up life...that's what you sing about! Unfortunately...record companies don't want to promote soul music, cuz there are lots of soul artists & don't get played! It's not our fault (African Americans) they don't promote artists that are musical. It's a struggle for all of us!
@onehartonevoice It's against federal law for recording companys to promote artists or send out copies of their music to radio, TV or DJ's. Only artists inside the USA can promote themselves. That is why big stars hire & sign contracts with publicists who have developed contacts inside major radio & TV stations & talk shows that book guests. They also help get your picture and story inside the right magazines.
Artists who do not invest a portion of their income in promotion disappear.
@charger19691 What, Jerry Lee Lewis said that, not only Fats have obviously influenced him but Little Richard also, that's a bullshit statement from him.
One of the 1st founding fathers of Rock n Roll! Long live Mr. Domino! He has almost as many hits as Elvis! What an amazing career and a true southern gentleman. A great American original!
In music critic/intellectual terms this song is R&B. However this is also one of the arguably first Rock&Roll songs recorded. There is debate about which was the actual first, tradition says it's the Turner/Brenston "Rocket 88" tune, but really there are many R&B songs of the late 40's that display the classic as we understand it now in 20/20 hindsight RocknRoll qualities. All that matters is that Fats is so so so amazing and his music is absolutely the greatest.
One of the true greats. Regarding the eternal "Rock'nRoll" debate, here is the quote to the media from Fats Domino himself ( circa 1955 ) - "What you people call Rock'Roll, I have been playing in New Orlaons for the past 15 years" - says it all really.
No, Alan Freed did not invent R&R in Cleveland in the 1950s. No, he did not coin the phrase, either. Listen to Ike Turner/Jackie Brenston's Rocket 88 from 1951. If that's not Rock-n-roll, I'll eat my turntable.
Although Alan Freed is widely given credit for coining the term, "Rock 'n Roll," it was used in the song "Rockin & Rollin Mamma" in 1939, in the lyrics of a Buddy Jones song "I love the way you rock & roll," in the 1944 Arthur Crudup song "Rock me Mamma," and in a 1946 review of a record, Billboard magazine used the term. Freed and Bill Haley certainly helped disseminate the term though.
Not only didn't Freed coin the phrase R&R, he didn't write the songs he is given credit for writing. He did popularize the music to a wider (and whiter) audience and for that he is remembered.
This was the first true Rock n roll record, it really was the finished article in 1949. Obviously it had mutated from earlier forms, but this was it.The Bass lines, piano triplets, even the tempo, after this all the big artists covered the BIG BEAT sound. I can even hear the intro to Thattle Be The Day and Fats was still having huge hits in the early sixties, using that EXACT sound. Even Elvis called him the true King of Rock N Roll, what a legend!
"This was the first true Rock n roll record" "Rock The Joint" by Jimmy Preston and "Boogie At Midnight" by Roy Brown, for example, were recorded before this was.
And your seriously trying to tell me that they sound like Long Tall Sally or Tutti frutti, or any other mid fifties hit record branded "Rock N Roll". Do they balls! They sound as old as the hills, even their instrumentation is closer to a Hank Williams sound than Rock N Roll, The Fat Man however is THE finished article my friend. I rest my case compadre. Now listen to the beat and feel the vibe, oh yes.
Happy, happy 81st from Josephine & i. Getting to meet you at Tips will always be a high point in my life - what a beautiful, humble man w/ SO MUCH talent!!!! Mant more years, Mr Domino_ I know I'm not the only person in the Big Esy who played your song as we returned to the city after Katrina & Gustav. Thank you for joy in tough times.
One of his earliest songs (and on his first LP) - there's definite influences from Professor Longhair in there, so if you like this check out Fess too.....
man, now THIS is a BAND!!! thanks for posting this - my own tape of this show skips. what a wonderful performer!! the hand shots at the keyboard are precious stuff... if you can get your hands on this (fats & friends), GET IT!!!! talk about steady awesome good time rocknroll music & top musicianship... the heart is all in the right place. :)
duhh,,who cares the man can rock,,would u do that good at 77,,he survived Katrina had to be rescued was missing for a time then daughter saw him on TV being lifted out by helicoptor,,born 1928 in New Orleans,He recently made new CD Called "I'm Alive And Kicking" if anyone is interested,,all proceeds go to help with the "Tiptina Foundation" which can be found through Google search,, love tihs old man happy to see him on Utube as he may not be around too much longer,,, respect stop with negatives
1-don't get all the back and forth shit between 2 guys that has nothing to do with Fats, or why it's all on here..who gets the last word wins?
2- This was rhe first Fats song I heard I think his early music was his best..before all the orchestra and strings you could actually hear him play piano
Chubby Checker called himself after his hero, Fats Domino. Chubby =Fats and Checker = Domino. It's better than being called plain Ernest Evans when you're trying to sell records.
can´t believe you guys,...wtf! its your cultural heritage!!! Fats Domino was the next best selling RocknRoll artist to Elvis... Prince wouldnt be sounding like he does if didnt have had guys like BB King, Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, etc etc etc making beautiful music,...
he is so sweet looking. i would have loved to have met him,i love his music, and the way he plays that piano is to die for, this is one of my favorite song, all though the piano is a bit quiet in the beging,but great video ,5 stars
You bet it was. The record was recorded for Imperial Records in Cosimo Matassa's J&M studio on Rampart Street in New Orleans, Louisiana on Saturday, 10 December 1949. Thus began a living legend and his legendary songs and sound.
Do you know when he recorded "The prisoner song" and is it on any of his albums. I had it on an old 45, but have been unable to find it since. I think it was in '57.

------------------------------------------------
Sorry but I have no info on that particular number. If you type if Prisoner's Song" on WIKIPEDIA,there are references but none to Fats.
When I first heard this music in the mid 50's I thought it was Rock and Roll and I couldn't understand why other Rock and Roll records were so crap... Then I found out it wasn't Rock and Roll ... It was Rhythm and Blues! .. And I was Saved!!!!

1-don't get all the back and forth shit between 2 guys that has nothing to do with Fats, or why it's all on here..who gets the last word wins?
2- This was rhe first Fats song I heard I think his early music was his best..before all the orchestra and strings you could actually hear him play piano

NIce song by a great rock and roller. Don't understand why some people stray so much from the topic when they respond to Youtube videos, etc.

Chubby Checker called himself after his hero, Fats Domino. Chubby =Fats and Checker = Domino. It's better than being called plain Ernest Evans when you're trying to sell records.

can´t believe you guys,...wtf! its your cultural heritage!!! Fats Domino was the next best selling RocknRoll artist to Elvis... Prince wouldnt be sounding like he does if didnt have had guys like BB King, Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, etc etc etc making beautiful music,...

You bet it was. The record was recorded for Imperial Records in Cosimo Matassa's J&M studio on Rampart Street in New Orleans, Louisiana on Saturday, 10 December 1949. Thus began a living legend and his legendary songs and sound.

Do you know when he recorded "The prisoner song" and is it on any of his albums. I had it on an old 45, but have been unable to find it since. I think it was in '57.

Sorry but I have no info on that particular number. If you type if Prisoner's Song" on WIKIPEDIA,there are references but none to Fats.

When I first heard this music in the mid 50's I thought it was Rock and Roll and I couldn't understand why other Rock and Roll records were so crap... Then I found out it wasn't Rock and Roll ... It was Rhythm and Blues! .. And I was Saved!!!!
A1+++++ posting!
