Due to the US air force base in Jamaica and the spread of transistor radios after WWII, Jamaicans were able to pick up the radio broadcasts from New Orleans all throughout the 50's and 60's. You bet your ass the people that invented ska and reggae heard this shit:

AINT THAT A SHAAAAME

Rest In Peace :(

>I looked at his wiki article a week ago and was surprised that he was still alive

See you space cowboy.

I'll still wait for an official statement.

I always assumed these old rock and roll guys were already dead but am always surprised when I hear of one dying

>Jefferson Parish coroner Jerry Cvitanovich confirmed Domino's death.

N-not official enough for me, I want a copy of the death certificate

Literally who?

An era is ending

F

>what does Official mean

I thought he died a while ago so for me he’s died twice :^(

Hey fats domino here
I'm dead man

...

is this the dude from that Be Kind, Rewind movie?

>denial

Another pavement ape dead. MAGA

F

I made my first beat with a fats domino sample. damn, that was about 10 years ago. R.I.P

...

A coroner declaring he has seen the corpse, confirmed it is indeed deceased, and has signed the death certificate is more official than his daughter releasing an e-mail to the press confirming he is dead. Imagine unironically thinking otherwise.

who?

F

>proving my post
he's dead

rip MC Ride

truly shocking! a black afro-american man NO killed by the official state police

Pls post the Official statement, idiot.

>he believes random media sources
No wonder Hitler hot into power.

*got

Drumpf strikes again

I'm still here niggas! You can't kill me!

I guess they'll won't call him the fat man no more

What the fuck are you even doing here?

How the fuck is he still alive?

Sticky when? This is brutal man.

Damn. 50s rock was one of the first genres I loved, back when I was five. This actually hits me surprisingly hard.

As OP I don't know if this deserves a sticky, the reaction so far has proven that. Bit of a shame though as I thought he'd be more known than this.

I know who this is, but still, who cares?
He was only relevant in the 50's and only had like one good song. I thought he died decades ago.

A man from a time when black people made real music, not the ooga booga mup dip bix nood shit they pass off as music today. Sad.

OOH

Goddamnit, RIP.

I've been taking a Jazz history class at college, and I've come to appreciate the crazy stuff these guys did. Effectively inventing the greatest music of the 20th century during segregation, the Great Depression, and World War 2. Jelly Roll Morton, Louis Armstrong, Fats Waller, etc. And now Fats Domino joins them.

>The New Orleans style entered a new era with Antoine "Fats" Domino, who, backed by Dave Bartholomew's band, broke all sales records for black artists with his warm casual falsetto and mellow boogie piano. His hits, such as The Fat Man (1949), a cover of Jack Dupree's Junker Blues (1941) that is contender for the title of first rock'n'roll song, Goin' Home (1952), Going To The River (1953) and Ain't That A Shame (1955), and I'm In Love Again (1956), i.e. the traditional Blueberry Hill, Blue Monday (1957), the soul ballad Walking To New Orleans (1960), were mostly co-written with the bandleader and propelled by his band (Earl Palmer on drums).

Satan worship

Did you say this when TMZ was the first site to report Chester's death?

Was he still alive???

Yes, because TMZ has made mistakes before.

You’re saying this as if black music hasn’t cause controversy in American higher circles since the 20s until little white hikdren get into it and bring it into the mainstream
Retard

Going to listen to Hit The Road, Jack in tribute to him

F

Literally who

F

What happened to Thins Domino?

So, who's next? Tony Bennett? Jerry Lee Lewis? Little Richard?

Chubby Checker

F

Little Richard is next.

MODS

F

Surprised he was even alive still DESU.

F for the fat man

Who the fuck are you?
You’re nothing

>still no sticky

>the Sup Forums thread is stickied because he voiced a cartoon monkey
>the Sup Forums thread is not even though he was a musician all his life
some boards have good mods, Sup Forums's not one of them. Sup Forums mod is a fucking braindead chimp.

are you retarded

>no sticky

My Blue Heaven -- The Best of Fats Domino (Volume One) [EMI, 1990]

Domino was the most widely liked rock and roller of the '50s--nobody hated him, which you couldn't say of Elvis, or Pat Boone, who despite the color of his skin charted just two more top 10 records. Warm and unthreatening even by the intensely congenial standards of New Orleans, he's remembered with fond condescension as significantly less innovative than his uncommercial compatriots Professor Longhair and James Booker. But though his bouncy boogie-woogie piano and easy Creole gait were generically Ninth Ward, they defined a pop-friendly second-line beat that nobody knew was there before he and Dave Bartholomew created "The Fat Man" in 1949. In short, this shy, deferential, uncharismatic man invented New Orleans rock and roll. These 20 two-minute hits, import-only for years, are where he perfected it. I'm overjoyed that the laggards at EMI promise another nicely annotated volume "in the coming months," and will believe it when I see it. Grab this one, kids. A+

Goodnight Sweet Domino

Holy fucking shit, I can't believe he was still alive

Good on him

I always assumed he died decades ago

F. had no Idea he was even alive

Too bad New Orleans hasn't had a music scene worth anything in decades.

Is anyone left?

His co-writer Dave Bartholomew is still alive and he's 98

It's crazy to think that there are people alive who basically predate modern music

Didn't mean to quote lol

His manager, his family.

Fats is objectively and subjectively too good to get a sticky. Stickys are for people who are either really well known, or who will be shitposted about.
Ben E. King didn't get one either.

what old 50's singers are still alive? jerry lee lewis and little richard are about it

New Orleans should be nuked

Prince died last year m8

trust me man
I found my freedom

f

what if we lose them all in the same year?

I fucking can't believe there's still no sticky.

a-at least we still have dr. john...

F

The hurricane tried and failed to eradicate it from the map.

Connie Francis?

Pat Boone

Also Tony Bennett and Sonny Rollins

Sticky this thread and ban anyone who doesn't know who he is.

>fat black dude dies
Why should I care?

Willie Nelson cut his first single in 1957 but he didn't have a charting hit until the early 60s.

Weed is pretty much the way to go if you want to go nuts on something. You'll live longer than food, alcohol or hard drugs. Willie just has holes burned in his brain, not his major organs.
