HAPPY BIRTHDAY FATS DOMINO, ONE OF HANDFUL OF TRUE ROCK PIONEERS

The first musician to become a rock ‘n’ roll icon solely on the strength of his music and not as an image or novelty, Fats Domino was also part of many of the early touring rock ‘n’ roll package shows that barnstormed the country and popularized the new music. http://OldiesCountry.com Domino often found lyrical inspiration in the experiences of everyday folks. “Something that happened to someone, that’s how I write all my songs,” he said. “I used to listen to people talk every day, things would happen in real life. I used to go around different places, hear people talk. Sometimes I wasn’t expecting to hear nothin’, and my mind was very much on my music. Next thing I’d hear, I would either write it down or remember it good.” http://www.amazon.com/Fats-Domino/e/B000AP9QKA/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&linkCode=ur2&tag=oldiescountry-20
