    • "Fats" Domino passed away from natural causes on Tuesday, 10/24, at 89. Is known as one of the early titans of Rock 'N Roll with hits like "Ain't That A Shame" and "Blueberry Hill".
      Bob- I'm not exactly sure it would ROCK as you say it Byron.. it may be cool, by typical text book descriptions. Your opinion of this is shallow and poorly constructed, but allow me to re-craft your initial thought into something tangable.

        I know it's proper form for this thread to call out accomplishments, but it pains me a bit in my soul to think that we needed to point out some of Fats Domino's hits...

        • Despite being a fan of both Guillaume and Fats Domino, I must say, I was surprised to learn they were the same age (actually Domino was a few months younger). I thought of them as being from different eras/generations, but that just came from me not reflecting on Fats starting out young in the 50s and Guillaume breaking out in his late 40s/early 50s.
