Fats Domino - "I'm Walking to New Orleans"

[kingbushwickthe33rd]

I remember hearing this as a kid.

Hard to beleive that we nearly lost

ol'Fats to Katrina because of George Dumbya's bungling!!!

[Xmas392]

Have not heard this fabulous song in years. Thank you so much for the upload. I love it.

[jimEdee1]

The Fat Man...nuff said.  Best times were listening to him.

[rekohu1]

WOW!! GREAT CLASSIC!!

[AlmostOuttaHellview]

This is great. I'm actually walking to New Orleans in a few days. I won't be there in a few days though >_> Last time I did this trip it took me four months

[MrBillfitz]

The greatest Black American artist ever . There ,take that lil'Richard

and you to Chuck Berry. Sammy Cook was an equal but none were

better than the Big Man. Rock on Mr. Domino.

[janspray]

I love this song--I love all of Fat's songs--thanks for the upload!

[brunoezrapinder]

Returned to New Orleans this year for a holiday went into the Katrina exhibit in Jackson Square and there was Fats piano rescued from his home, as expected it was in a bit of a state but I could`nt resists touching it, it`s a bit of a long way to walk back to New Orleans from England but I will soon be flying back.

[dercarsus]

I just love this song

[janspray]

I love all Fats Domino music--this one is my favorite. I play it all the tiem.

[Khultan]

 ...my soul and my heart is consoled.

[RetroJenny]

This is one of my favorites. I am from Louisiana, and this song just gets to me. Fats is a legend.

[thegreyareaband]

@kanbound that is really sad but beautiful. My Dad is a huge Bing and Perry fan. I can't imagine the emotions you must feel when you hear this song,

[sunrecords56]

Is their anything better than a Fat Man and his Piano?? I dont think so Love Fats

[mastersmartjason]

Really great stories you guys have.. I'm happy to be able to upload this song for you guys. I always play this for my mom. She has met Fats Domino many times before since we live in Louisiana. She always sings along and dances.. they don't have music like this anymore.. Enjoy everybody!

[JiS01]

After 10 years, I finally find this song again where I grew up with (yes I'm only in my 20's). GREAT song.

[Kanbound]

This song means so much to me. It reminds of the Christmas when I was a teenager and found a Fats Domino album for my Dad. That was the early 70's and 50's music was hard to find. My Dad grabbed my Mom and they slow danced to "Walking to New Orleans." In 2002, my Dad was in the Emergency room with Pneumonia and not expected to live. I held his hand and sang "Walking to New Orleans." He opened his eyes and looked up at me for what would be the last time.

[TheLadandLass]

@Kanbound

Your comment brought a tear to my eye.

Long live the Fatman!

[HelLKaiseRr]

@Kanbound did he live ?

[bewarethedoc]

im 13 and just found this its really good :)

[TheLongshot11]

Ain't that a shame.Why was it block in my country.I hear it over and over when i was seven on the radio all the time. .Jack ( longshot11)

[TheZunigal]

@ccasia2008 - Fats Domino is a pioneer of Rock 'n' Roll. He is a respected man and musician here in the U.S. and we love him!! If it wasn't for him, popular music wouldn't exist today.

I don't know what it's like in your country, but here in the U.S we don't tolerate the N-word.

[veadlsteak]

What a neat guy Fats was! Marvelous. so talented such good music!

[moeny1000]

@mastermartjason, thanks, I will, even some aren't fans, but I'll change em:)

[moeny1000]

@mastermartjason, could you upload "ain't that a shame", please?

[mastersmartjason]

@moeny1000 ok, I'm uploading it right now.. and please spread the word to your friends if they are Fats Domino fans.. I also have Lady Madonna and So Long by Fats Domino as well

[tomcs635]

Dear Sir, have my many thanks for uploading this espacially song. In meiner Sprache: Haben Sie einen herzlichen Dank für dieses Lied, das ich aus meiner Jugend kenne. Wir haben als deutsche Kinder zu dieser Zeit nicht verstehen können, warum es "Nigger" gab! Es lag vielleicht auch an "unserer" Vergangenheit. Dieses Lied spiegelt viel Vergangenheit wieder. Ich liebe dieses Lied!

Yours sincerly, Thomas

[moeny1000]

Love the song, I live in wales, and thank you for posting this amazment, glad you exist lad.

[missamanda1025]

Thank you so much for posting this. I am from Louisiana and am currently stationed overseas with my husband who is AF. This song makes me smile and cry at the same time. This song and man means so much more if you call Louisiana home.

[mastersmartjason]

@missamanda1025 You are very welcome. I am also from Louisiana and still live here to this day

[moeny1000]

epic

[unclebillmusic]

I saw Fats at the Academy Of Music on E. 14th st. N.Y.C. in the early 70's. He performed this 2nd to last. This song made me love the violin and soul at the same time. He usually closes with "the Saints go Marching In" ,which takes about 10 min. A TRUE LEGEND

[unclebillmusic]

FAT'S BEST

[EricDymond]

[cameron01ization]

[momo14898]

my uncle goes nuts for fats. He sings along and everything :D

[ussfccc]

There was a disc jockey in Miami called Butterball. When this song first came out he said, "I can't see Fats walking to the corner let alone to New Orleans". Good laugh. Brings back many pleasant memories

The highlight of my commute back home.

We love you Fats Domino!

[SwingingJohnson]

Heard this song on the radio tonight.

Remembered how much I love Fats!

I love you FaTS!

[brazosjaime]

This was a great tune to do "The Stroll" to.

[KJPRAR1]

bless you in heaven bobby charles... xo

[lizmcgushin]

Love it. FANTASTIC! Excellent singer!!

[SpawnFicklePets]

Pure bliss

[brunoezrapinder]

Was in Fats neighbourhood shortly after Katrina visited, never got to see the man though....  Ain`t that a shame!!!

Bruno

[loveyourwhiteshoes]

Love it!!

Such a great singer!!

[Roseboyd01]

When my cousin was about 3 years old, her mama took her to the Red Pig in Concord, NC. Little Kathy walked up to a man and said....Hey Fats. The man put her on his lap and Aunt Barbara almost fainted....It was Fats Domino.....I still get a kick out of this memory.....Cindy

[pappawheelie09]

I Met Fats and his manager on a plane heading to Dallas Tx i asked for his autograph i treasured it for many years i guess my ex still has it knowing what meant to me

[DeAztec62]

oh cry me a river babe if u want it go and get it

[thatsthewayitgoes09]

One of best AND STILL going!

[dellydell80]

WHEN THE LEVESS BROKE

[bellgardens53]

But I can't understand y'all that changed to this BETA scheisse. That MUST be that worst ''invention' so far on YT. Gotta get my time machine in order - H.G. Wells old school - pick up Fats on his way to New Orleans (loooong before Katrina!) and stop at 2008 or so and chop that morons head who invented BETA. And this haven't happened yet.

[bellgardens53]

Sunny and warm weather. You get into the car. Hard top down and ride down in a comfortable pace. This one playing and you are on your way to (my blue) heaven.

[mastersmartjason]

Great idea!

[sillygooseable]

No, a warm summer night, top down, and 50's on the radio......

[bellgardens53]

Ok, summer nite works swell too, cruisin and pick up, depending on mood; cool mood, "Travelin' Man", in a rockin' mood; "I'm Walkin" or in frenzy, well what about "Fats Frenzy" or Bop-A-Lena" by Ronnie Self? You don't get 'em much wilder!

[sillygooseable]

Can't think of a nicer way to spend a summer evening..........too bad my husband doesn't have a romantic bone in his body.............

[bellgardens53]

Never thought this was romantic but just, well, something for a natural born lover. lol. Yeaa...that one by Fats, "Natural Born Lover" is soo good, in my mind even better than this, Walking... On his '...A Lot of Dominos!' LP from 1960. Incredible long being from that era, 4:20 but every second of it is sheer pleasure. That one or Prof Longhair's "Mardi Gras in New Orleans". Or all of them blasting from the radio while you cruise down to New Orleans with your dear one by your side. Heaven!

[sillygooseable]

OK, now this "Natural Born Lover" is a favorite too! Thanks........

[Babyhowdy233]

Absolutely one of THE GREATEST songs I've heard in my 53 years on this earth!!!

The KING of New Orleans, without a doubt!!

[sillygooseable]

In my 53 years too! Loved him since a little girl!

[giggitygoo9812]

One of my favorite songs by fats domino

[Countryborngal]

I first heard Fats Domino in the 50's,and I have been a fan ever since.This is my favorite song by Fats.He's a great singer.

[mastersmartjason]

Yes he is, he's one of my favorites too
