Fats Domino (1928-2017) was a New Orleans blues pianist considered a father of Rock and Roll. His most famous songs are “Ain’t that a Shame” and “Blueberry Hill,” 2 songs I really love. He spoke Louisiana Creole French first, learning English when he started school. Despite his fame, he remained modest and caring—Chubby Checker’s name was inspired by him.
