New Orleans and Rock and Roll Legend Fats Domino passed yesterday at age 89.

Wikipedia:
"Antoine "Fats" Domino Jr. (February 26, 1928 – October 24, 2017) was an American pianist and singer-songwriter of French Creole descent. Five of his records released before 1955 sold over a million copies and were certified as gold records,[1] and he had 35 records in the U.S. Billboard Top 40."

He was a fantastic musician and entertainer. Fats Domino, New Orleans rock '''n''' roll pioneer, dies at 89

Sorry, with all the 'sensitivity' going on these days, perhaps we should call him 'Weight Challenged Domino'

He was a "Jr"

His dad was also nicknamed Fats.

.

Fats Waller, Fats Gonder, Fats Johnson, Fats Jenkins, Minnesota Fats...there are a few.

Here us a fun link recalling his many hits:

I met him back in the day at a dance place in Virginia Beach Virginia. Had a nice conversation . couldn't get over the fact that he had some much large blink on his fingers as was still able to play a mean piano

Also met Roy Orbison at the same club. ..was friends with the manager there.
