Fats Domino playing piano at home

  • Two & a half minutes from April 2010 - I was shooting for Joe Lauro's documentary: "The Big Beat: Fats Domino & the Birth of Rock 'n' Roll." I heard Fats' dear friend Haydee Ellis say "come in the bedroom, Fats is playing..." It happened so fast. I had to grab the camera and go. We were shooting in his living room where he had a new grand piano but he didn't want to play that; he'd rather play this little one in his bedroom. A rare moment - he had stopped playing in public some years before.

    82 years old and playing that piano like he's 32. Awesome. They will never be another Fats.

      There was Fats Waller before, there are singers like him today. We just don't hear them so much anymore. He in particular was one of the honest ones; his sort of personality doesn't fit with the music industry's short-term profit and strict idea of what 'sells' today.

    Fats Domino is the original “Founding Father” of Rock and Roll. His first song was released in 1949, “The Fat Man” and became a million selling record. Fats really started the Rock and Roll movement. Even Elvis Presley said Fats is the real King of Rock and Roll.

    That second rendition of Blueberry Hill just hits different. At 1:40 it almost seems he's lost in the music, then looks up and remembers he's got an audience, and breaks into the classic Fats smile.

    My parents used to put me on a table when I was 2 years old and let me dance to Fats! I still have that awesome rhythm instilled in my DNA. I think all small children should be exposed to good old rhythm & blues. It has been my solice in many happy & sad times! Thankyou Fats for being all that....cool.
