Sometime ago comedian, Jimmy Kimmel, made a joke about "people you thought were dead but are not" (it sounds grim but was funny). From some posts here I get impression some may think Fats is no longer among the living. He is still alive. However, Fats living in New Orleans at the time (& still may be) of Hurricane Katrina was initially thought & reported dead due to the storm & ensuing flooding. Don't know if he's still performing, but he is still very much alive, kicking & hopefully singing!
wow, i'm 40 from a foreign country and i absolutely love this. heard it in some commercial last week for the first time ever. so great and so simple in lyrics and music. pure joyyy!
First class song . First heard it 2009 on Rock & Chips , the pre sequel to Only Fools And Hourses . Good choice of song to use . Fell in love with it instantly .
Hey Nocaro, the man was unstoppable in the 50s and continued his winning ways in the early 60s but there's no need telling you this.. It's good that he's still around, he survived Katrina, though not much of his possessions but we still have him, thank God for that. Thanks for this video and the memories, Jimmy
Happy 84th Birthday, Fats !
