This hit by Fats Domino hit #3 on the Top 40 charts, #1 on the Rhythm & Blues charts, and #12 in the United Kingdom. It would finish at #25 for the year, 1956. And the hits are getting bigger.
This era had REAL music. Just the singer and their instruments. Nothing else. Pure talent. Gods walked the earth then. Modern day singers could take notes and learn something.
I know there are less of us who like this music ( i too feel displaced in my generation) but stick to what you like. Music is special to everyone of us. Don't fall into the pressures of today's music. As long as it's in ur heart it'll live on.
Ya know, Im only 33yrs old..and this is my all time favorite kind of music. I credit my mom and dad for instilling the love for the oldies in me as a child. I honestly dont feel I belong in my time..I feel my soul belongs to this time period. Very few people my age feel this way about this kind of music and I think thats just tragic. With that said, OMG I LOVE FATS!
@MzDixieDarlin I'm 33 as well, and I feel so out of place with my generation. I like older music, older television shows, and movies. There are others like us out there, but I don't think there are very many. People were more soulful and creative back then for some reason. Everything seems so superficial and bland now in comparison.
Actually Elvis and Fats did sing together, not on a record, but there's still some old film around somewhere - search around, you should be able to find it. The sound prolly won't be too great, but what the hay - it's still awesome stuff. And Fats is still with us - my sis, who works for FEMA, was there when he was rescued from his home after Catrina. Rock on Fats - we will always love you.
I heard Elvis use to invite Fats Domino to play piano at graceland in the early yrs. I think he may have payed him, but could you imagine them 2 singing together on a record? Priceless !!

and I'd like to pinch his cheeks - choochy choo!!! he reminds me of the porter of a block of flats my mum used to live London a couple of years back. Cheers Solomon! lots of kisses and happy retirement in your country Zimbabwe.
A #1 hit for Fats Domino and his second #1 hit on the R&B charts in the Rock Era. I hope that every artist of today, black and white, remembers who helped set the table for them. Fats was one of them as he appealed to both races. You're the best, FD.
Old videos like this show the true greatness and energy from the 50's start of rock and roll. Look for the Little Richard, Bo Diddley and Chuck Berry old ones. Also, Jerry Lee Lewis and Jackie Wilson. All better than the great Elvis.
Luv it! Who wrote it? I think Rick Nelson deserves an honorable mention on his version. He brought rock & roll into middle America's living room! Parents seemed to think it wasn't so evil when Ozzie & Harriet did it!
Why would a great American Artist, have like this, have a song release in Berlin first? Was it racism? Not saying it was, but it was the 50's after all. Just wondering is all.
I saw Fats live in the 50's in a skating rink show in Rochester NY. He greased his hair down with Royal Crown pomade. He drove a pink cadillac, he played long into the night. He was so good!
