Off to find his thrills on Blueberry Hill.

You couldn’t call anyone Fats these days!
A big influence on the pop scene in the 60s.

All his 8 children had names beginning with A.

Another one bites the dust, always like Fats Domino’s stuff. I’m a Pike Hill guy, changed …………. “I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill to……………..”I found my thrill on Brunshaw Hill”.

;D

Surely you guys know Chubby Checker derived his stage name from Fats Domino?

I had forgotten that fact about Chubby,nice one excile

At nine****, he was nicknamed Fats by the bandleader Billy Diamond, who thought his style was reminiscent of the work of Fats Waller, a jazz pianist from Harlem.

Half the population could be nicknamed Fats these days. I’m getting there!! :?
