Synopsis

Album Description
2010 two CD collection. Fats Domino was one of the most popular architects of Rock 'n' Roll and enjoyed international success on a much larger scale than many of his contemporaries. Here, for the first time, are both sides of all of Fats Domino's American R&B and Pop chart hits. Includes such classic hits as 'Blueberry Hill', 'Ain't That A Shame', 'Blue Monday' and 'I'm Walking'. Across this double disc set, the 62 notable recordings stretch from 1949 to 1959 and superbly illustrate how Fats went from local R&B star to international superstar. Jasmine.
 

CD Reviews

SON OF NEW ORLEANS
Barry McCanna | Normandy, France | 04/25/2010
(5 out of 5 stars)

"America's got talent, as is amply proved by this compilation of Fats Domino's hit singles from the fifties. First, there's his playing which is grounded in the rhythm & blues style; secondly, his infectious vocal style; and thirdly his impressive roster of compositions. I remember some of these numbers very well, because they were enormous hits in England, partly because they sounded so different. It was a time of musical change, when rock and roll, trad jazz, and skiffle were beginning to dominate the pop scene, but Fats carved out his own individual niche."
