Fats Domino: Fats Domino - Fats Rocks (CD)

1-CD-Album DigiPac (6-plated) with 32-page booklet, 33 tracks, playing time 73:13 minutes.

  • One of the true godfathers of rock 'n' roll music, Fats Domino was rocking before Haley, Elvis, Little Richard… or anyone!
  • Absolutely definitive, full-length package of his alltime greatest recordings in pristine restored sound.
  • Spectacular packaging with in-depth notes from his biographer… plus fabulous photos.

Fats Domino rocks? Well, of course he does. And he was rocking and rolling long before Elvis, Jerry Lee, Ricky, Bill Haley… or anyone else. Nineteen-forty-nine, in fact. That's when Fats Domino recorded The Fat Man, inaugurating a long, ongoing career that saw him become the FIRST R&B artist to cross over into the pop charts, and the ONLY one to stay there. Some of his contemporaries scored a hit or two with this new rock 'n' roll music, but Fats scored hit after hit year after year. And all the great stuff is here. Compiled for listening pleasure… for dancing… for education… and to pay tribute to the great New Orleans musicians heard on every song, this is the alltime greatest Fats Domino compilation. 


It begins in 1956 when teenagers heard Pat Boone's cover version of Ain't It A Shame, then heard Fats Domino original, and realized that one was hot… and one was not. Fats followed it with 65 more pop hits, and that's not counting the 13 R&B hits he scored before Ain’t It A Shame. We have every hit you'd expect… Blue Monday, I’m Ready, Walkin' To New Orleans, Blueberry Hill, I'm Walkin’, and many more.

Fats Domino Nachruf

Fats Domino 

 

Antoine 'Fats' Domino war einer der Gründerväter des Rock'n'Roll, erwachsen aus dem Schmelztiegel des New Orleans Rhythm & Blues. Er beeinflusste nachhaltig das musikalische Geschehen über Jahrzehnte. Seine Klassiker wurden von Elvis Presley über Paul McCartney bis zu Huey Lewis gecovert. Sein unvergleichlicher leicht schleppender Piano-Sound, durch den schweren Ring an seiner linken Hand entstanden, ging um die Welt. Er w

ar, wie auch der große Louis Armstrong, ein perfekter Botschafter der musikalischen Kultur New Orleans'. 

 

Nun ist Antoine Domino im Alter von 89 Jahren in seiner Heimat Harvey, Jefferson Parrish, New Orleans, Louisiana, im Kreise seiner Familie gegen Ende des 24. Oktober 2017 verstorben. Er wird in seiner unvergleichlichen Musik weiterleben.

 

Die kreative Partnerschaft von Fats Domino und Dave Bartholomew machte New Orleans in den 50er-Jahren zu einer Rock'n'Roll-Hochburg. Es gab jedoch zu Anfang eine kurze Phase, in der die beiden getrennt wurden, weil der Chef von Imperial Records, Lew Chudd, sich weigerte, dem Trompeter, Bandleader und A&R-Mann das zu zahlen, was ihm seiner Meinung nach zustand. Fats Domino war gezwungen, ohne Bartholomew weiter Aufnahmen machen, und so waren er und seine Band am 26. April 1952 für eine Session unter der Leitung von Chudd selbst in Nashville. Der aus dieser Stadt stammende Songschreiber Ted Jarrett lieferte dafür das raketengetriebene Trust In Me, das sich durch ein verrücktes Gitarrensolo von Dominos regulärem Saitenmann Walter 'Papoose' Nelson auszeichnet. Antoine Domino, Jr. ist stolz darauf, aus dem Neunten Bezirk der 'Crescent City' New Orleans zu stammen, wo er am 26. Februar 1928 geboren wurde und in einer Familie aufwuchs, die kreolisches Französisch 

sprach.

Als Zehnjähriger begann er in die Tasten zu hauen und spezialisierte sich bald auf Boogie-Woogie. 'Ich mochte Albert Ammons. Ich mochte sein Klavierspiel', sagt Fats Domino, der auch Amos Milburn bewunderte. 'Ich mag seinen Klavierstil wirklich', erklärt er. 'Ich begann 1947 in den kleinen Clubs von New Orleans zu spielen.' Chudd kam Ende 1949 im 'Big Easy' an und setzte sich sofort mit dem Top-Bandleader der Stadt, Dave Bartholomew, in Verbindung. 'Er sagte: 'Wie sieht’s mit neuen Talenten aus?'', erzählt Bartholomew. 'Ich sagte: 'Da gibt es einen Typ, über den ich immer in der Zeitung hier lese, er ist richtig toll.' Er fragte: 'Wie heißt er?' Ich sagte: 'Jeder nennt ihn Fats Domino und er spielt in einem Laden namens Hideaway.' Also gingen wir da hin, und uns gefiel sehr gut, was wir von Fats Domino hörten.'

Die erste Single, die Dave mit Domino im Dezember 1949 in Cosimo Matassas J&M Studio produzierte, der Houserocker The Fat Man, mit dem sich Domino selbst vorstellte, war ein riesiger R&B-Erfolg. Als Fats und Dave gegen Ende 1952 wieder zusammenkamen, ging’s auch mit den Hits weiter. 1955 machte Ain't That A Shame plötzlich aus Domino einen Rock'n'Roll-Star ersten Kalibers. Er ließ danach nie nach und erreichte eine goldene Schallplatte nach der anderen für Imperial bis 1962, immer mit Bartholomew sicher am Steuer. 'Ich blieb mit ihm zusammen, bis die Firma verkauft wurde', sagt Fats. 'Ich konnte machen, was ich wollte – das heißt, ich konnte ins Studio gehen und Dave sagen, was ich gemacht haben will, und ich sagte dem Studio, wie ich aufgenommen werden wollte, und der Plattenfirma, wie es veröffentlicht werden sollte.'

In den 90er Jahren erlebte er nach der Verwendung seines Songs "I'm Walkin' " in einer Werbung ein großes Comeback. Domino verkaufte in seiner Karriere mehr als 65 Millionen Alben. 1986 wurde er in die Rock'n'Roll Hall Of Fame aufgenommen, 1987 erhielt er einen Grammy für sein Lebenswerk. 2005 wurde Dominos Haus in New Orleans durch Hurricane Katrina schwer zerstört. Er selbst konnte gerettet werden, nachdem er zunächst als vermisst gegolten hatte. Mit einer Hommage-CD wurde Geld für den Wiederaufbau seines Hauses gesammelt. Domino selbst trat in den folgenden Jahren mehrfach auf, um Geld für den Aufbau seiner Stadt einzusammeln.

 

- I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill – Rest in Peace Mr. Domino!

Press and Reviews
Press - Fats Domino - Out Of New Orleans - Blues & Rhythm
Press - Fats Domino - Out Of New Orleans - Blues & Rhythm Tony- Watsori Looks at the new Fats Domino Bear Family Box Set Of all the fabulous collections that Richard Weize has put together on Bear Family this is the one that has been, perhaps the most eagerly awaited, at least in R&B and rock and roll circles. As every single available Imperial master recorded by the Fat Man between 1949 and 1962 is included here, there is little need for a track listing.
15.02.1994
Press - Fats Domino - Out Of New Orleans - Record Collector 1993
Press - Fats Domino - Out Of New Orleans - Record Collector 1993 Mining the rich seams of Fats' original recordings for the Los Angeles-based Imperial label in the 1950s and early 1960s, this compilation promised much, and certainly delivered. With 100 tracks, and an excellently researched booklet featuring verbatim interview material, this could have easily survived the decade as the last word in Domino retrospectives. But then came Bear Family. The German reissue label which does nothing by halves has done it again.

Press - Fats Domino - Out Of New Orleans - Blueprint April 1994
Press - Fats Domino - Out Of New Orleans - Blueprint April 1994 This is Bear Family's long-planned release of the complete Domino Imperial canon, put on ice when EMI issued their 'Best 100' set. That information alone will be enough for many of you. 'Complete Works' sets really allow the CD format to come into its own (with programming permitting all shades of listening, from the casual to the obsessive) and Richard Weize has set unsurpassable standards in the field.

Press - Fats Domino - Out Of New Orleans - Juke Box 1994
Press - Fats Domino - Out Of New Orleans - Juke Box 1994 Fats Domino had two distinctly different periods of stardom during the 1950s: his first as a successful R&B artist, with his output aimed at and tailored to suit the black record buying public of the post-war years, his second with unforeseen success as an international rock 'n' roll star selling to an increasingly white audience with his style suitably modified. There can be few who are not familiar with Fats' R&R hits, and most either love them or hate them, but what went before, between and even after them may be of far more interest than expected to those yet to explore Domino's output. This excellent box gathers together for the first time Fats' entire recordings for Imperial Records, from 1949 to 1962, in chronological order, on to eight CDs.

Press - Fats Domino - Out Of New Orleans - Now Dig This Dez. 1993 Here it is, the box-set that was deferred for two years after EMI released their 4xCD box in 1991. I bet that the modest Fats can't believe it - two box-sets of his Imperial output in two years, and Rick Coleman's book to come around the end of 1994!

Press Archive - Fats Domino - Out Of New Orleans - AllMusic
Press Archive - Fats Domino - Out Of New Orleans - AllMusic Strictly speaking, many of the 32 tracks on the 2018 compilation The Ballads of Fats Domino are not ballads. They're blues and slow-rolling R&B, songs that seem to define the Big Easy sound of Fats: "Blueberry Hill," "Blue Monday," "One Night," "Poor Me, "Before I Grow Too Old," "Natural Born Lover," and "I Hear You Knocking." They're surrounded by lots of songs that could conceivably be called ballads, but the feel of the comp isn't sweet and anodyne. Some of the tempos may be slow, but this is an R&B and rock & roll record through and through; it just happens to lean toward an easier roll. That sustained feel is appealing, as is the fact that this compilation is filled with songs that aren't hits but aren't slouches either. For some listeners, this may be a good way to launch an exploration of his classic Imperial period.
