"They call him the Fat Man. With his easy-rolling boogie-woogie piano and smooth rhythm & blues vocals, Antoine "Fats" Domino put a New Orleans-style spin on what came to be known as rock and roll. A pianist, singer, and songwriter who was born in the Crescent City in 1928, Domino sold more records (65 million) than any Fifties-era rocker except Elvis Presley." - Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Since Hurricane Katrina, Fats has been instrumental in helping the Tipitina's Foundation in its efforts preserve the music culture of New Orleans.
