Fats Domino
Comment:
Plenty of people play rock ’n’ roll, but Fats Domino is rock ’n’ roll. When he laid his hefty hands across those 88s and started rippling the keys, the resulting sound made the whole world move. He’s one of rock’s original piano men, right alongside Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis, but his heart belonged to New Orleans, where the sexy, strolling beat that bounded out of his tunes had always been called R&B. Whatever name you give it, though, the music of Fats Domino is a category unto itself. Through the years, the man laid down a mighty mountain of killer cuts, and we’ve wiggled into our hip boots and waded through it all to bring together the truly crucial feats of Fats’ career. From the cocksure steamroller “I’m Gonna Be a Wheel Someday” to the sweaty, sensual “One Night,” this is where all the Dominos fall in just the right order.
