Search - Fats Domino :: The Imperial Singles, Volume 5: 1962-1964

This is the fifth and last volume in our Fats Domino singles series, covering all his A & B sides. This CD covers the final Imperial period just as Fats was cooling off chartwise and includes the final Imperial 45s issued after he left Imperial for ABC-Paramount. This body of Fats' work is the least reissued period of all, but contains many gems.In addition we've included two excellent bonus tracks from 1963, following on from the tradition set up on Volumes 1 and 2 only available on his Just Domino LP.Fats Domino has a bigger profile than ever following Hurricane Katrina. He and Dave Bartholomew were honored by the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in November 2011. Today Fats' name is up there with the great surviving exclusive members' club of rock 'n' roll legends. In fact, Fats Domino could be considered for the role of original rock 'n' roller.His The Fat Man was a hit record in 1950, and this series has happily followed each and every Imperial single released by Fats until 1964. Fans of the first four in the series will not want to miss this last volume.
