Fats Domino - Concert for UNICEF (aka Legends Of Rock 'n Roll) - November 17, 1988

It was 1988, November 17th to be excact.
The place: Rome, Italy.
It was Fats' day off from a long (five-week) European tour and he flew to Rome with some of his band members (Herb Hardesty, Fred Kemp, Lee Allen, Jimmy Moliere and Ervin Charles a.o.) to play an all-star concert to raise money to vaccinate African children for UNICEF.
Fats, wearing a pink sport coat and white trousers performs "I'm Ready" and "Blueberry Hill" to feature on the DVD. What's not in it (and that's a real shame!) are "The Fat Man", My Girl Josephine" and "I'm In Love Again".
Broadcasted in april 1989 (at that time Roger Lewis was back in the band. He was abscent for 5 years) and videotaped by Cinemax-tv it was a great performance, before 10,000 fans.
It was a star-studded evening including the WHO'S WHO of Soul and (Rhythm &) Blues: B.B. King, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Ray Charles, Bo Diddley and James Brown. Jerry Lee is the only one still living (AND performing!)
Fats' sounds as fresh as ever. Remind; he was 40 years in the business and at 61 he still belts out his golden hits as if it was 1949.
ENJOY and SHARE and have a nice weekend.

Of all the regrets I have in life , and there a few too many , the one that I regret the most as it applies to the entertainment world is not experiencing a James Brown show. 😢

Lead Belly has no connection to rock n roll.
Rock n roll was after his time.

For anybody who is a fan of Jerry Lee Lewis, you don't know the dark history of him.

James Brown, BB King and Ray Charles have nothing to do with rocknroll, great artists and performers though..
