Fats Domino one of the legends of Rock! Blueberry Hill is a classic of his.
Love blueberry hills
Me too
I found my thrill there!
My favorite is Walking to New Orleans ♥️
Good call. YES
Blueberry Hill is his most well known song. Try that next for him.
love this channel but i also watch Seven Hunnid on UA-cam alot cuhh
CHRIS!! First time seeing you in awhile, how ya been?
@@itsmedino Working late a lot. I'm good, how are you.
When I hear the name "Fats Domino" my brain goes straight to "Blueberry Hill"!!!
@@chriso6719 lol almost typed metoo, oops. Yeah I been slammed at work lately, RSR is always a nice break in the day.
Two other great songs by Fats Domino are “Blue Monday” and “I’m Walkin’.” “Blueberry Hill” is probably his best known song.
Yes, indeed ... you're talkin' -- and pointing the Rob Squad to some good songs.
Yes. 👍
My Blue Heaven
Blueberry Hill always reminds me of Happy Days.
@@matthewdrake4385 oh yeah Richie used to sing that. Lol.
Elvis, when a reporter addressed him as "king", replied that Fats Domino was "the real King of Rock and Roll." Another time Elvis (who became a star the following year, 1956) said: “A lot of people seem to think I started this business,” said Elvis. “But rock ‘n’ roll was here a long time before I came along. Let’s face it: I can’t sing like Fats Domino can. I know that.”
And in this video interview (pieced back together after being cut up for news reels) Elvis again reaffirms the primary influence on Rock’n’Roll: m.ua-cam.com/video/tX6SjU1-7WA/v-deo.html
Very humble of a King to say this !!
Love Fats, but Chuck Berry is the real King of Rock and Roll.
@@jackgilchrist by sales and popularity, Elvis is and always will be King. Commercially speaking, Fats was second, ahead of Chuck Berry and Little Richard, though the later two are more “rock”.
Elvis was a very humble man and gave credit where credit was due.
Also got to give a listen to "Be My Guest" "Blue Monday" "Blueberry Hill" "I Want To Walk You Home" "I'm Walking" "Kansas City" "My Blue Heaven" "What A Party" and a many more. Dig it!
Those are all awesome songs
Local fellow here, Fats rocked!!! Y’all need to check out another Louisiana boy Percy Sledge. When a Man Loves A Woman should be your intro.
Excellent suggestion! I forgot completely about Percy Sledge!
💯💯💯
My brother played that at his wedding. Jordan will be crazy not to play this for Amber.
Percy was one of my favs too. I also liked " Backfield in Motion", Home Free has cover of "When a Man Loves a Woman", they really do the song justice.
Are you from Treme Sean?
I really appreciate that you guys have grown to realize that music nowadays is just a pale imitation of music as it was....a soul-touching blend of rythm, talent and creativity. It was wonderful...and still is.
B*tch please, music was great until 2012/13. It has been lacking in quality since then but up until that point there was wonderful music being released every single year. Stop it with your forced nostalgia. The 50s were a great era for music but so were the 90s or the 2000s...
Aw, years ago, my fiance was taking care of Fats in a hospital in Chalmette, Louisiana, and he brought home a signed photo saying, "Keep dancing, Chrissy." So sweet.
Another good 50's is Jackie Wilson - Lonely teardrops. No I'm not going to quit suggesting this. Love you guys
America first , I m with you . I have been trying to get Jay and Amber to play Jackie Wilson AND Phoebie Snow . especially Phoebie singing. "At Last. " Keep trying 😇
@@mikebarry1514 I'm glad there's someone else that likes that song too. II forgot about Phoebie, will add to my play list, thanks. Thats why I love these reactions and comments. Rob & Amber are the best.
@@mikebarry1514 bingo. 2 solid recommendations. I'll add Sarah Vaughan and Fontella Bass to those.
@@johnj2763 lets keep bugging Jay and Amber for these artists that have been forgotten here.🤔
@@mikebarry1514 no problem. Im the king of Bug.
Let's go "Walking to New Orleans." My favorite by the incomparable Fats.
Love that one.
Fats Domino lived in the same house before he became famous in New Orleans in the lower ninth Ward, Married 1947 and they had 9 kids. Until hurricane Katrina damaged it beyond repair! He lost all his Gold records and and most everything else! When he played play Blueberry Hill after Elvis passed away he always dedicated it to Elvis! Elvis said that Fats Domino was the real king of rock and roll!!! Fats Domino has many many good songs!!!!
New Orleans’ own! Born Antoine Dominique Domino, Jr. February 26, 1928.
He was a singer and songwriter, and great performer. Between 1955 and 1960, he had 11 top 10 songs and over his career, had 37 songs in the Top 40 on Billboard Hot 100.
He was feared dead after Hurricane Katrina in 2005, when he remained in his home during the storm. Within several days, it was discovered that he had been rescued by the Coast Guard. His home was destroyed, but by January 2006, work had begun to restore it. President George W. Bush made a personal visit and replaced the National Medal of Arts that President Bill Clinton had previously awarded Domino. The gold records were replaced by the RIAA and Capitol Records, which owned the Imperial Records catalogue.
He remained in New Orleans until his death on October 24, 2017. R.I.P. Fats.
Now you need to react to the piano player that inspired Fats Domino and others. It would also be the earliest time period you have reacted to. Fats Waller from the 1930's and 1940's. Make sure you get a video clip that shows his facial expressions because you will love them because he has charismatic. "Your Feet's too Big" from the 1930's or "Ain't Misbehavin" from the movie "Stormy Weather (1943)" are two you should check out.
I love Fats Waller, and there are various films of him playing.
His real name was Antoine Dominique Domino Jr. and, like Little Richard, was one of the pioneers of Rock and Roll Music. He passed away in 2017 at the age of 89. Born in N'awlins ;), his biggest hits apart from this one were "Goin' Home", "Going to the River", "All By Myself", "Poor Me", "Blue Monday", and, of course, "Blueberry Hill." Regarding your comment about not touching on any of the big artists of the 1940's... you've actually done Ella Fitzgerald and Hank Williams Sr., as well as Louis Armstrong, and, of course, Frank. This was the heart of the "big band" era, and some of the most famous bandleaders of the time were Tommy Dorsey and Benny Goodman. You should also check out Billie Holiday, Perry Como, Charlie Parker, The Andrews Sisters, The Ink Spots, and Bing Crosby.
Bing Crosby=Crooner
Don't forget the ultimate crooner Tony Bennett!✌❤
I actually remember being rather surprised that he was even still alive before hearing that he'd died in 2017, because I'd thought that he'd died years before that
@@donnagonatas3155 Absolutely. I hope J&A do the B&W version of "I Left My Heart in San Francisco". Amber will do the "Amber Sway" for sure!
@@Shrykespeareyes thats my favorite song by him.
You’re definitely right about today’s music. Most of it has no heart and soul, no feeling or emotion, no story telling. Those are the things that made the oldies so special along with the amazing voices and stage presence of so many of the artists and bands. Today’s music just seems mass manufactured music produced to make money., in my opinion anyway.
A suggestion for 60’s music that would also fit nicely into female Friday is Dusty Springfield - You don’t have to say you love me or another one would be one of the greatest girl groups ever The Ronettes - Be My Baby or Baby I love you. Sticking with 50’s Rock n roll icons you could try Jerry Lee Lewis - Great Balls of Fire
The sad thing is that young people only know this rubbish so they think it's great cause they don't know anything else they don't know what real music sounds like that really fills your soul and heart.
Yes! I agree, Dusty Springfield should definitely be on Female Friday. Great suggestion!
@@sarablack2547 And, (with only a few exceptions),they've really only gone back as far as the mid-late 50's. I am SO hoping at some point, that they will take a look into the 30's,40's and early 50's to hear some of the amazing music and singers of those eras. Also, since Jay loves the piano and orchestras, and Amber loves her horns, they should listen to some of the fabulous music of the Big Band era. Glen Miller, The Dorsey Bros., Benny Goodman, and so much more.I can hardly wait to see some reactions to those. They should also touch on Linda Ronstadt's covers of songs she recorded with the Nelson Riddle Orchestra. Her "What's New" album is one of her best ever. Her voice is simply gorgeous !
@@sharonh951 We danced to Orchestras. Couples dancing. It was awesome. I lived listening to 30's & 40's music when I traveled. Did Rosemary Clooney do any in the 30's?
@@scottsprague8502 Connie Frances too! and these, LaVern Baker.
Connie Francis.
Brenda Lee.
Dinah Washington.
Della Reese.
Aretha Franklin.
Etta James.
The lead singer and pianist, is the late Antoine "Fats" Domino. He was a big music star in the 195os. "Fats" Domino was second in total record sales in the 1950s only to Elvis Presley. Domino recorded and toured from the 1940s to the 1990s, and retired from active recording and touring. He and his family barely survived Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, which was his home town. "Fats" Domino had a good manager, and was very wealthy, and lived a long life. He died in 2017, at the age of 89.
Fats Domino, Little Richard, Chuck Berry and Bo Didley defined rock n roll.
And Chubby Checker!
❤️♥️❤️♥️
@@SallyBedow Ah, not so much.
Facts🎯 The REAL kings of rock n roll.💯
Bo with his square guitar. He got the rhythm idea from hearing trains going down the track.
Love Fats Domino. You need to listen to Blueberry Hill. He was an awesome artist!
Fats once said that he just wanted to make people happy with his music.He was always smiling and truly enjoyed his Craft.
You hit the nail on the head. Back then the artist could actually sing, and they were individuals and had their own style.
Thank you for playing Fats Domino. He was very important in his day. A very early influence on Rock 'n' Roll, and a Black man who broke the race barrier on radio (as did Little Richard and Chuck Berry)
Facts🎯 At one point in time he was the highest paid performer for his shows, period.
@@wrutledge1 Thank you for pointing out Fats' high wages, and appreciating Fats. He was contracted to RCA, as was Elvis. I own an ancient RCA sampler 33 rpm LP, with Fats performing Blueberry Hill.
1955.Legendary musician Antoine "Fats" Domino Jr. was born on February 26, 1928, in New Orleans, Louisiana. The youngest of eight children in a musical family, he spoke Creole French before learning English. ‘Ain’t That A Shame’ was the first rock ‘n’ roll song I ever learned. My mother taught it to me on the banjo before I learned the guitar. Nobody else knows these reasons except me." John Lennon.
These guys not only sang GREAT dance music but the were performers without their being over produced. Wonderful memories!!
Ooh, Amber, that "thank you": when Jordan says he doesn't listen to rap anymore - I feel you, gurl!
The Andrew sisters and Glenn Miller were fantastic 1940s singers.My parents listened to Glenn Miller everyday.
My Dad loved big band, Glenn Miller in particular.
My music teacher in school was Herb Miller's brother
I dig Company B (abbvr. title cuz phone! 😝 ) and Summer Place.
I loved the Andrews sisters! Young, preteen me had a thing for the short one. :)
Me too! Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Duke Ellington, Count Basie
Fats Dimino was amazing, he had another great one , called on Blueberry hill. I just love how positive you guys are and all the fun you're having discovering all the older artists from years ago. Thank you for making me smile ❤ stay groovy and keep on keepin on ✌ ❣
Don't forget his hit "Walking to New Orleans". He was a real treasure!
The 50’s were a transition between big band music and what became Rock and Roll. This is bluesy but also boogie woogie. If you want horns check out swing music, late 30’s early to mid 40’s. Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman and others.
The music from the second half of the 1950s WAS rock and roll. The transition period was the late 1940s and the early 50s.
THIS FEEL GOOD SMOOTH SOUL GROOVE CLASSIC WILL BRING A SMILE,, THE BLACKBYRDS "WALKING IN RHYTHM"...
A TRUE MUST HEAR.
In regards to your comments about rap, you now have a better understanding of how hard it is for those of us that grew up with music from the 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s find it hard to stray from that music to today’s rap and pop. Yes, some of it is really good but so much of it sounds exactly the same.
This!!
And when you try and categorize it, you can't.
It has become synthetic. Doubt if in 10 years, people will be reacting to it, like you do to older music.
Totally agree Dwain
wonderful and so accurate way to describe it!!
Blueberry Hill is a must! Fats was always so positive and energetic. Great early rock influencer. Thanks for sharing.
In the studio version of this, he does sing with kind of a more powerful sound. He seems a little subdued here. A group called Cheap Trick had a big hit with a hard rock cover of this in 1978 that's worth listening to.
Cheap trick's live version is the best version lol fight me.
@@helenwheels3270 well of course
This man looked like he was genuinely enjoying himself as he sang and played the piano. His energy bounced into the crowd of people listening to him. Now that was a performer!👍😎
Frank Sinatra was from the 40’s. Also for Female Friday from the 40’s The Andrew’s Sisters “Bogey Wogey Bugle Boy of Company B” a fast song you both will enjoy.
That was the year I was born. I love him. You guys ,I'd love to hear you do Otis Redding ,These Arms of mine.
I second that. Love that song
Brilliant song!!! It's one of the ten best songs to slow dance to!
Another great group from the 50s with iconic songs that I can remember everyone in our house loving was The Platters! Mom said their songs were played at school dances, along with singers like Fats Domino. But some of their iconic songs are "Twilight Time", my favorite, "The Great Pretender" and lord, another one my brother Gene would break out singing, "Only You"... You guys will love The Platters!
Antoine "Fats" Domino was one of the key figures in the transition from old R&B to rock. Other commenters have posted some of the important songs in his catalog. For comparison, you should also listen to Cheap Trick's cover of this song.
Fats had a VERY long career. He just recently passed and was still performing just a few years ago. A true rock LEGEND, one of the Founding Fathers of ROCK...You guys MUST react to the Platters - suggest "Only You" or "The Great Pretender"....
Two AWESOME songs.
Yes! The Platters!
Absolutely right ! Here, here !
J and A need to do Twilight Times by the Platters.
You would love The Platters - a black harmony group with a lead singer with the voice of an angel.
I loved 🥰 Fats Domino. He was an icon. Another living legend named himself after him. Chubby (Fats) Checker (Domino)
If that's true (and I'm not doubting you), that's a pretty cool tidbit that I did not know! 👍
Part true, I believe it was Dick Clark from American Bandstand who helped Chubby Chubby get his nickname.
@@thefuzzman "...it was Domino who served as the muse for Chubby Checker's moniker. Checker was born Ernest Evans and nicknamed "Chubby" since childhood. In 1961, the singer was perfecting his Fats Domino impression in the recording studio of Dick Clark of American Bandstand fame. When Clark's second wife, Barbara, heard him, she quipped, "His name is Chubby, like Fats? Well, then, his last name should be Checker, like Domino." The name stuck
@@Xcris_crosX I don’t rate Chubby Checker anywhere even near Fats Domino as far as musicians go, but that’s a great story.
Pleased to hear your commentary on music from back in the day. It's not hating on today's music. It's appreciation of the talent that went into creating music back then: Songwriting. Music Composition. Musicianship (real instruments). Vocals.
Carlos Santana Had An Older Brother Jorge (R.I.P.) & This Beautiful Classic Comes From His Band,, MALO "SUAVECITO"
Another great pioneer of Rock and Roll. Fats Domino is awesome ☺
I love Amber’s loving touch.
She is great, isn't she!
Speaking Of Domino & Classics,, VAN (THE MAN) MORRISON "DOMINO"..Just One Of MANY Classics By Him.
This was Great Dance Music back in the 50's. I became a teenager at a much later decade, but I remember the older cousins playing this and dancing to it.
A friend & I joined a dance instruction class. It was held at a junior high school. I had so much fun with all the grown ups (us) learning how to do their dances. (Actual accomplishment as a dancer proves I had more fun than I learned.). Then another night we would meet at a Western Dance Club, get in free and enjoy a free buffet, then dance. We always had a large pitcher of ice water at the tables. The guys always made sure every girl (woman) was asked to dance. A couple of nights later we would all meet at a more upscale yuppy place to dance. And on Friday nights we would all meet at a dance studio and bring our children. There were snacks, finger sandwhiches and drinks there. Every level dancer was there. Nat'l competitors asked beginners to dance. It was so nice and sweet and fun. This group taught the Whip. Some were quite proficient with West Coast Swing. The way Amber moves... she would have so much fun.
I totally dig 50s tunes! My dad used to sing the stuff when he would cook lol
One of my fave 50s groups is The Platters, my fave song is Twilight Time. I think y'all would love their sound!
Yes, The Platters were a great group. I really enjoyed their version of House of the Rising Sun. The had a female lead vocalist for that one. They also did a lot of great Do Whop. Cheers, Steve
Definite yes on Platters…Smoke Gets in your Eyes!
My big sister used to torture me with this song. Every time I was frustrated, told to do a chore I didn't want to do, or lose a game she was always there singing "Ain't that a shame". I got so mad, which made her giggle and tease me more. Sigh, good memories. Love you Sis.
I think you two just realized why there were a few rock legends, a lot of great bands, and RAP artists seem to be a dime a dozen!
I was born, raised and still llive in New Orleans. Fats is a true Rock & Roll legend worldwide. He's also the artist that Elvis Presley deferred to as the true King Of Rock & Roll. if you are going to go down this rabbithole, you can't go wrong with hits like my dad's favorite, "Blueberry Hill". Then start rolling with "My Blue Heaven", "Blue Monday", "Walking To New Orleans", "I'm Walking", "I'm In Love Again", "Whole Lotta Lovin'", "When The Saints Go Marching In", "I'm Ready", "The Fat Man", and "I'm Gonna Be A Wheel Someday".
Shoot, y’all are just growing up. Check out Benny Goodman - Sing, Sing Sing.
Fats is a legend
I'm sure one of two has heard Blueberry Hill before - his greatest hit - but I like this song better. Another good one is I'm Walkin'
He started playing the piano at an early age and was self taught spending his young age in night clubs watching singers and learning .you hear a lot of jazz coming through when he sing and each song is very unique and each song is different the the other
His name was Fats Domino…. Not the group, he had 11 top 10 hits.
Through the medium of the internet we can now listen to great music and musicians from the twenties up to current day. That's about 100 years worth of exploring! Each era had some wonderful music and singers. It's too bad we have no recordings of past centuries of music. What a loss!
What's cool about a certain era is that we have piano rolls. We have actual piano rolls of Scott Joplin's playing. Which is pretty darn awesome!
@@sourisvoleur4854 That's interesting. How far back do the piano rolls go? Is there any internet recordings of them that you know of?
I found my thrill on blue berry hill is his most famous song, Richie Cunningham ( ron Howard) would sing this almost every episode of happy days
yup, any time I hear the name Fats Domino, I think of Happy Days
The music of the 40's and 50's was so pure and so simple. If you notice, they only HINT at sexy messages; not a censored word in the songs!! You guys would probably love the dancing of those years. My mother was a dancer in the 40's and was a dance champion!! I grew up dancing with her! This artist was Antoine "Fats" Domino
I think the biggest difference is back then they were all entertainers. They were multi talented.💜
My Fats recommendations would be: "My Blue Heaven", "Blueberry Hill", "Blue Monday" and "I´m Walkin". Chubby Checker´s name is actually a riff on Fats´ name.
RIP all you old time Rockers….. My grandfather used to belt out on his Saxophone to this song & many others , have tears in my eyes cause I can hear that old school sound just like my grandfather…..
Hey Jay and Amber, I love your reactions! I love your style of giving compliments to both the songs and the artists. I have a PhD in the history of popular music: the eighties on back, so feel free to ask me about artists of this great by-gone era. Re: Fats Domino. Yes, he's the guy singing and playing piano. His real first name is Antione (That's french for Anthony). Born and raised in New Orleans and he was the definite sound of New Orleans combination of Dixieland jazz and early rock 'n roll. He charted records from 1950 to roughly 1968ish. The saxophone solo you heard was by a guy named Herb Hardesty and, needless to say, he was a great musician. Check out "The Fat Man" by Fats, recorded 1949. That was the song that put him on the charts! Keep up your good work!
Suggestions:
Christopher Cross - ‘Sailing,’
Kayne Brown - ‘Worship You,’
Kool and The Gang - ‘Celebration,’
Luther Vandross - ‘Dance With My Father,’
and last but not least ...
Roberta Flack - ‘First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.’
You should react also to Roy Orbison, Gene Vincent, Buddy Holly, Paul Anka, Pat Boone and Eddie Cochran
Yes Yes Yes Roy Orbison "Pretty Woman"
Pat was like going from real whole wheat bread to that pasty wonder bread.
@@treetopjones737 lol. Pat Boone was the original cultural appropriator.
Everyone always forgets the late great Big Joe Turner and his "Shake, Rattle and Roll" ( Bill Haley's sanitized version was only a cover). Even after being inducted into the 2nd class of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, he is often overlooked. "Rock and Roll wouldn't have happened without him."
@@salliemoore5472 Definitely Roy Orbison. anything by Roy Orbison!
Fats Domino was a man, one man , he did have his band. Essentially he brought the New Orleans sound R&B/Jazz and infused it to he music that was the earliest Rock & Roll. One of the greats..
Early Rock & Roll of the 50s is iconic. As you've noticed before, early Rock & Roll has a "fun" element that is simple and genuine while expressing universal feelings and situations we can all still relate to. The music and instruments were just as important as the lyrics which gives the songs layers to enjoy. It helps present a "wholesome" time that wasn't really that wholesome. This song by Fats Domino made the top 10 (#1 on the Black charts) but a cover version released in the same month by a white artist, Pat Boone, made it to #1 because he got more airplay. It would be years before Fats Domino's original version would become the most popular version of this song. Black music was limited by what radio stations would play it in those days.
Fats Domino said "what they call Rock and Roll now is Rhythm and Blues. I've been playing it for 15 years in New Orleans". Elvis Presley called Fats Domino the real King of Rock and Roll.
Rap is Rap. Music is actual music.
If you look up Oxymoron in the dictionary, you will see this entry...
"See Rap Music."
Yeah that's what I've always felt. Rapping is certainly a talent but I've never felt it was very musical.
You should maybe on Female Friday try listening to Connie Francis! Beautiful voice
Lorrie Margon also
In 1955 I was five years old. M
y mom and my aunt loved music and to dance. They always had the radio on. They taught me to do the Stroll to this song. Rock and Roll was my lullaby music! Keep reacting to the greats in rock’n roll.
Fats domino. Is one of the greatest artists
Love love love FATS
DOMINOES
Fats Domino,-(I'm walkin) is a good fun upbeat song. Speaking of fun. Amber, play the Cowsills,-(Hair) for the big J. Just to pick at him the next time he picking at you.🤣
The Partridge Family was a show inspired by the Cowsills.
I know this song from the Cheap Trick cover. Have you all done Cheap Trick yet? Want you to Want Me or The Flame are good ones.
Love cheap trick.......saw them in 77 when they opened for Kiss✌️
@@itchyandred4131 Nice! I never got to see them. But I love them!
Listen to Cheap Trick's version from "Live at Budakohn" (sp?)
My dad was born in ‘37 and he listened to ‘40’s, ‘50’s and some ‘60s & ‘79’s. He was also a Catholic so I heard the hymns at Mass too. My mom was born in ‘45 and listened to ‘50’s through to the ‘80’s. My two older brothers were born in the ‘60’s and listened to just about everything else. I have never been fixed on one type of music in my life so hearing someone say I only listened to one type of music is so strange to me. So when you say that you’re appreciation of music has expanded since starting this channel gives me just a little bit of hope. Keep it up you two. There is so much great music out there for you to listen to.
I loved Fats Domino. He always seems very happy and sweet and we loved dancing to his music when I was a kid.
First Rock n Roll song my Dad ever heard was Fats Domino. Blueberry Hill. He walked in to a diner and it was playing on the jukebox
At 1 point, only Elvis and the Beatles had sold more records than "Fats"
Fat Domino is the guy playing the piano. He just passed away recently. His piano is more in a New Orleans style. It's related to Jerry Lee Lewis but more refined. This was a type of music on the cusp between existing "jive music" and what would transition into "rock and roll". You can see he still has a full band behind him. Guys like this would play traditional big band style but then do a few songs like this that appealed to the younger kids. You have to realize at the birth of rock and roll groups and Elvis this music was very much a novelty that no one thought would last.
Growing up we called Fats Domino's music Rockabilly. His genres were
Rock and roll, boogie-woogie, New Orleans rhythm and blues. "Blueberry Hill", "I'm Walkin" & "Red sails in the sunset" were just a few of my favorites.
You hit quite a few from the fifties. Still waiting for your reaction to Buddy Holly, my personal favorite from that era.
YES Xs 1,000
Yeah they should since he was the shift to rock and roll. IMO
"Fats Domino" was a very unique and catchy name for an artist... So unique that another artist came up with a parody for his own. How else would "The Twist" master come up with his handle, "Chubby Checker"???!!!
So very glad you guys are appreciating the really older music of the 50s & earlier. The big band/swing era that morphed into Rock & Roll is a rich history of great music.
The music from this era is also called The Standards or just Standards. It's what Elvis was referring to during the Tom Jones interview when Elvis told Tom to leave the Standards to the previous generation. Although Elvis broke his own rule when he covered Sinatra's 'My Way'.
The 40s & earlier was all acoustic with microphones & speakers. There were 'big bands' or mini orchestras that would travel around playing live gigs & TV performances. It was typically a conductor like Glenn Miller or Count Basie or Duke Ellington or Benny Goodman. These conductors would typically sing &/or play an instrument, too, & feature himself & others in solos.
That was another fabulous element of big band music. Each instrument would be featured in a mini solo & it was always fire.
If you ever want direction on this genre just reach out & I'll help you along. My parents had me in 1965 when they were 40. For someone my age to have such a love & knowledge of big band music is unusual. None of my growing up friends liked it & I have to turn it off if my hubby is around but I will never stop loving that music (that's how I feel about his love of modern Country music 🤢). I've offered this guidence in the past, maybe you'll read one of my comments & reach out. If not, I hope you can stumble upon some big band requests from other listeners or from searching the internet.
A true classic from 1955! Fats was among the few pioneers of rock & roll. Just a few other hits from around that time: “My Babe” by Little Walter, “At My Front Door” by the El Dorados, and “Memories are Made of This” by Dean Martin. Of course, Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, and the Platters were also on the jukeboxes at that time.
You two are so encouraging to me. It's like all of life, when you find something that "tastes" good, you go back for more. And suddenly you realize you aren't happy with koolaid any more. Your taste is changing. I've done that a lot over the years, too.
That's maturity.
I know you like the piano, you should listen to Wildfire by Michael Martin Murphey. Beautiful piano music in it.
Love that song and it's spooky enough for Halloween
I can’t imagine the amount of talent these performers from the fifties and sixties must of had to become stars. The obstacles they overcame just blows my mind. I truly believe music is the single most important “event” for overcoming racism.
This is a transition from big band, swing, blues to Rock and Roll. I grew up on this music along with my folks big band music. This was music they could still relate to. I had a big smile on my face listening to this right now. It was like coming home.
Fats Domino was definately an original. Blueberry Hill is another classic of his. Cheap Trick does an amazing cover of "Ain't that a shame" on their Budokan album that is definitely worth a listen, Love the Bun E Carlos intro.
Not sure if you know who Cheap Trick is, but they did a version of this in the late 80's - I had the LP. You should react to that version too!!!
You mean late 70’s…
@@sentinelmortgagecorp4291 No, 80's.
@@jojomart No, they did the remake of Elvis’ Don’t Be Cruel in the late 80’s. Ain’t That A Shame was from the Live at Budokan album from the late 70’s. Sorry, but I’m a huge CT fan who has seen them live over 40 times so I know. You can Google all this and see when they came out.
@@sentinelmortgagecorp4291 I guess they didn't hit here till the 80's. It was the Live at Budokan album alright!
@@jojomart Exactly. And I hope I didn’t sound like a jerk. I was just trying to make sure you knew. Have a good week!
sound quality was not what we know today, but in a live show, he was really rockin' !
a true gentle giant as well. MY generation. I was I was 18 years old !
A true founding father of Rock n Roll. I was very lucky to see him play in the 90's along with Chuck Berry and Little Richard which was a dream come true. His real name was Antoine Dominique Domino Jr and his life was Jazz, Blues and Rock n Roll. He arguably released the first Rock n Roll record "The Fat Man" which along with "Walkin to New Orleans", "Jambalaya" and I'm Walkin are my favourites. Oh and yeah he could play that piano like his life depended on it.
Fats domino grew up in new Orleans he and his family waited out hurricane Katrina in the top attic of his two story house .and even after his home was destroyed he did a singing benefit less than two months later to raise money for the hurricane victims that lost there homes during the storm .he was and all around great person and performer he had many # 1 hits .I had seen him perform in Tennessee many times back in the day at lake winnepasoaka which was a theme park .his kinda of music will never get old he had a certain way he would sing that reminded me of blues and especially jazz and that comes from growing up in new Orleans
Fats Domino and Elvis were friends and ruled the charts in the late 1950s :) Fats Domino was old school New Orleans back to the late 1940s!
I L💕VE...ALL HIS SONGS...
THOSE WERE REAL ARTIST...
THEIR WERE NO
VOICE OVERS...
Fats Domino is the individual! He was so cute! That’s my parents music and it was so innocent and sweet even for the fifties! He had another big hit with Blueberry Hill! I remember he survived Katrina in New Orleans but has since passed! RIP! This clip is from a movie! This is part of the birth of Rock and Roll!!!❤️❤️
Ahhh, what a legend, right there. I grew up with this kind of music. I was born in 1964, but my mam alwasys listening to this music. Xxxxxx
Fats Domino was one of the true pioneers of rock n' roll. My favorite song of his is "Blueberry Hill".
I was just a kid back then, but it seemed that the "big band" era had two groups of players. Black and white. What impressed me the most (more than the great music from each) was that they all dressed up in their best clothes. Remember, I was a child. I was more impressed by their clothing and their tap-dancing than the great music. As I got older I realized that they were great musicians too (not just loud). Thanks you guys, you always give good "reactions."
In the beginning of rock and roll there was a legendary performer from New Orleans!!!
A piano artist like no other... 😋💖✌
Cool and makes the playing the piano look effortless....treasure....one our country's own musical pioneers....
One of New Orleans' favorite sons! A True Legend. After his death a few years ago, The week he died, the New Orleans Saints organizations paid tribute to him by playing their following game with his name on the back of their helmets.
This song was written by Fats with his long-time writing partner Dave Bartholomew who left us only a couple of years ago in 2019 aged 101! They first worked together in 1949.
When The Beatles made "Lady Madonna" it was meant as a tribute to Fats Domino and his style. The Beatles really loved the early rockers like Fats Domino, Buddy Holly, Little Richard and so on.
