Fats Domino - Before I Grow Too Old

[kenna37661]

I love Fats Domino! There is no one like him. I remember seeing him at the Bamboo Club in Lake Charles (many years ago). Best music to dance to. Thanks for posting this.

@kenna37661 You're welcome....it's my pleasure!

There is NO ONE quite like Antoine "Fats" Domino.

[9thWardJukebox]

@Jan3948 Nope, and there never will be.

[briankingmuse]

Is Bobby Charles' version considered a cover since he's one of the writers?

[9thWardJukebox]

@briankingmuse If it came out after Fat's version, it's a cover. In this particular case, Fats' was 12 years ahead of Bobby. I can tell you one thing though, whenever you hear a Bobby Charles song sung by Fats Domino, it's just amazing how Fats and Dave's style would change into a different formula but one they did before with Bobby "co-writing"....if you get my drift.

[9thWardJukebox]

@Halivippan Your request did the trick! Enjoy!!!

[pinchold]

@9thWardJukebox thanks a lot Ward - I didd enjoy it.

[minnomouse1]

@Halivippan I nrver heard him sing this song before.

[1blastman]

I love Fats Imperial recordings.

[pinchold]

A great cover is by Bobby Charles but I'm not sure if it's on Tube

[9thWardJukebox]

@pinchold Actually it is not but it just so happens to be in a "holding folder" to be posted. Will today be too soon?????

[pinchold]

@9thWardJukebox As you probably know today is always too soon but my hopes are high. Thanks, for encouraging me, anyway.

[9thWardJukebox]

@pinchold Not sure if I'm understand your comment.

[Labaron26]

Fats Forever....There will never be another like him....

[gullhjertet]

@Labaron26 Thats for sure !!

[colinjoyce100]

This is one of the rock n roll classics

Fats voice and the rasping sax's are like champagne and honey, perfectly balanced, dripping out of a juke box

su.....bloody........perb

[9thWardJukebox]

@colinjoyce100 I agree!!!! Hope you have a Merry......bloody....Christmas­!!!

[Jrogerssr]

One of Fats' very best. Super!

(I guess the dedication helped the Saints, too) :))

[9thWardJukebox]

@Jrogerssr Yep it did. I need to re-dedicate it because we appear to be the worse 3 & 1 team in the NFL. I know we're a bit short on running backs at the moment but my God, where's the rest of the offense?????

[Jrogerssr]

@9thWardJukebox Look at it this way: you could be in Phoenix!

[9thWardJukebox]

@Jrogerssr The good news is the NFC West is really up for grabs but I see your point. 2nd most points given up so far but you're in a great division. Our division is not too bad but the one team we had to worry about was Atlanta and we blew it. However, we were way down in stats for 2 of our 3 wins. 49ers beat the crap out of us but we won because turnovers. We fought for our lives against a rookie QB and a dismal Carolina team last Sunday. But we all have looked ugly. Look at the Colts.

[Jarrahnut]

Yes, indeed ... what a memory trip ... Crikey! ... it must be forty years since I last heard this number! What lovely memories. Fats Domino is wonderful!!

[9thWardJukebox]

@Jarrahnut He really is. Glad you enjoyed!!!!

[gullhjertet]

Recorded February 10, 1960. No 84 Hot 100, 17 on R&B. One of my favorites. Realy blues.

[9thWardJukebox]

@gullhjertet Hard to pick a "favorite" from Fat's. Glad you enjoyed it.

[46professor]

This one of Fats' best, and great arr. Thanks!

[9thWardJukebox]

You're welcome and glad you enjoyed!

[kajunmoon]

First time I ever heard this was when Van Broussard played it at Moonlight and Cal's he played it faster but ......dam what a memory trip!! Thanks 9WJB :)

[9thWardJukebox]

You're quite welcome!

R.I.P. Bobby Charles

[robotica99]

Bobby was a great writer and did fine versions himself. Thanks Bobby, rest. in peace.

[9thWardJukebox]

I really felt blindsided by his death. We are losing all our old friends.

[REBrandenburg]

Great old Bobby Charles song.

[9thWardJukebox]

Yep. Most people have no idea how much Bobby gave us. He will be missed.

[sokowatti]
