Von allen Schallplatten-Künstlern der 1950s wirkte Fats Domino rein äußerlich am wenigsten wie jemand, der zu einer Rock ‘n’ Roll Legende werden würde. Aber während Little Richard auf Klavieren tanzte und Jerry Lee Lewis seine 88 Tasten in Flammen setzte, stellte Fats’ Piano den “New Orleans Sound” einer Welt vor, die hungrig nach dem Beat des Rock & Roll war. Fats Domino verkaufte mehr als jeder Rock ‘n’ Roll Superstar der 50s, mit Ausnahme des “King,” Elvis Presley. Von 1955 bis 1968 hatte Fats 66 Singles in den Billboard Hot 100 Charts und verkaufte über 65 Millionen Platten. Sein Spitzname wurde der Titel seiner ersten Single, “The Fat Man.” Häufig als erste Rock and Roll Platte bezeichnet, mit über 1 Millionen verkauften Einheiten, führt dieser Titel diese Zusammenstellung selbstverständlich an. Mitte der 50s wechselte Fats Domino in die Mainstream Pop Charts mit “Ain’t That A Shame.” 37 Top 40 Singles sollten folgen, darunter “Blueberry Hill,” “I’m Walking,” “Whole Lotta Loving,” und “I Hear You Knocking”. Der legendäre Sänger-Pianist verstarb erst kürzlich im Alter von 89. Diese 2-CD Kollektion, umspannt Fats’ bemerkenswerte Plattenkarriere und ist das Vermächtnis eines Talents, das größer als das Leben gewesen ist. Wie der Fat Man selbst immer sagte, “Be My Guest.”
