Fats Domino Obituary


Like the great Louis Armstrong before him, Fats Domino was a perfect ambassador for New Orleans music.

Even at the height of the mid-‘50s rock and roll explosion, when Elvis and Chuck Berry were scaring the bejeezus out of parents with their primal rhythms and suggestive stage antics, Fats was a cherubic presence when seated behind a piano with a sweet smile on his face and a fat horn section by his side. No wonder he was one of the era’s most prolific and universally accepted hitmakers; with trumpeter/bandleader Dave Bartholomew as his co-writer and producer, Domino unleashed an incredible run of hits on Imperial Records that were irresistible to teenagers and their parents alike. Fats always did the Crescent City proud.

Domino, who died at the age of 89 in his beloved home in Harvey, Jefferson Parrish in New Orleans, Louisiana, at night on the 24th of October 2017, had been ailing in recent years after surviving the wrath of Hurricane Katrina in 2005 (he had to be rescued from his Ninth Ward home, which was utterly devastated). But prior to his hea

lth woes, Fats never stopped rocking like it was 1957 all over again, always fronting a rollicking band soaked in second-line rhythms and jabbing horns. Domino never seemed like he was just going through the motions; whenever he launched into his raucous set closer When The Saints Go Marching In, it was instant Mardi Gras time.

Antoine Domino

Born February 26, 1928 in the Big Easy, Antoine Domino, Jr. was a shy lad of Creole descent who spoke French before he learned English. Influenced by boogie piano specialists Albert Ammons (whose Swanee River Boogie became one of Domino’s enduring showpieces), Meade Lux Lewis, and Amos Milburn, Fats was given his nickname by bassist Billy Diamond, whose band he played with at the Hideaway Club beginning in 1946. Domino was making a name in his own right by ’49, when he met Bartholomew, who brought Imperial owner Lew Chudd to the Hideaway to check out the promising newcomer. The end result was a record contract that would make immense profits for the label and Domino as it stretched for more than a decade. 


The Fat Man
, a cleaned-up adaptation of Champion Jack Dupree’s Junker Blues, was Domino’s Imperial debut and just missed the top of the R&B hit parade in early 1950. Fats achieved R&B stardom long before rock and roll reared its impudent head, scoring major hits with Every Night About This Time (1950), Goin’ Home, Going To The River (both 1952), and Please Don’t Leave Me and Something’s Wrong (both 1953). Everything changed when Domino released the stop-time rocker Ain’t It A Shame in 1955.

Typically a Domino/Bartholomew collaboration, it not only paced the R&B charts but went Top Ten pop despite a Pat Boone cover. Rock and roll was exploding all over, and Fats was one of the rowdy music’s first true heroes. Of course, having a crack band at his behest whenever he ventured into Cosimo Matassa’s studio in the French Quarter sure didn’t hurt. Herbert Hardesty, who was prominently featured with Domino’s band for decades, took the lion’s share of the sax solos on Domino’s hits, with studio stalwart Lee Allen handling the rest.

Domino was a rock and roll superstar

For the rest of the decade, Domino was a rock and roll superstar, thanks to blockbusters that included I’m In Love Again, When My Dreamboat Comes Home, Blueberry Hill (his top seller of all), and Blue Monday in 1956, I’m Walkin’ the next year, Whole Lotta Loving in ’58, I’m Ready, I Want To Walk You Home, and Be My Guest in ’59, and the plaintive Walking To New Orleans and My Girl Josephine at the beginning of the new decade. Domino memorably guested in the rock and roll flicks ‘The Girl Can’t Help It,’ ‘Jamboree,’ and ‘The Big Beat,’ headlined countless package shows that barnstormed the U.S. and helped knock down segregation barriers, starred on network TV programs, and remained singularly free of scandal as he loyally doted on his huge family back home when he wasn’t on the road.

After an amazing run on Imperial (all of his masters for the label are available on Bear Family’s eight-CD boxed set ‘Out of New Orleans’), Domino moved over to the ABC-Paramount label in 1963. But by then, the glory years of New Orleans rock and roll were long in the history books. Domino made more platters for Mercury and Reprise, often recording away from his home base, and toured far and wide as the oldies circuit welcomed him with open arms. Eventually Domino decided to retire from the road altogether, limiting his performances to venues that were close to home.

New Orleans was filled with great performers during the ‘50s, but there was only one Fat Man. Monumentally influential to a generation or two of Louisiana musicians (especially the pioneers of the swamp pop movement), he was the very definition of New Orleans rock and roll—as all the gold records adorning his wall during the pre-Katrina days so eloquently attested.

Admin 31 Jul 2021

When we first saw Rien Boellaard’s list of 17 tracks that had been left off the Fats Domino box, we were astonished.  At least a thousand hours of research, listening, and writing went into the project. Had we really overlooked 17 tracks? That would be both shocking and exciting. It meant we might learn something new about Fats and his recorded legacy. And so we went through his list in detail. And guess what?

Not one of those 17 tracks is on the new Fats Domino box. And, more important, not one of them represents a track we overlooked. There is not a single accidental omission on the list. In every case we were well aware of the recording and chose to exclude it from the compilation for good reason.  In most cases, had Rien Boellaard taken the time to read the book that is part of the box set, he would have understood exactly why the track was not included. These were not oversights or errors. They were thoughtful decisions made by the Producers.

 Out of respect to Mr. Boellaard, we will go through all 17 of the tracks he has identified.   To simplify things, though, we’ll point out that most of his items fall into one of three Categories.

 

Category 1.  A few months after Fats left the label in 1962, Imperial brought some female backup singers into the studio and overdubbed about a dozen of his original masters.  These were desperate-for-product attempts to re-release his earlier recordings by updating them to keep making money off Fats. Fats certainly had nothing to do with these overdubs; he had already gone to ABC Paramount.  We nevertheless included what we consider to be the five best examples of them on CD  8. In that way we showed our listeners what had been happening to Fats’s music.

 

Category 2.  As we explained in the book, in or around 1957, when Fats’s touring schedule was becoming increasingly busy, he did not have sufficient time in the studio to generate product for the marketplace. Several experiments were made with letting him record on the road, but clearly everyone preferred making records in New Orleans.   Another solution attempted by Imperial was to pre-record instrumental backing tracks and leave them in the can until Fats came home and had some time for overdubbing sessions.  These tended to be brief and somewhat lifeless affairs.  It was also hit and miss as to whether Fats would want to record the song or use the backing track that had been produced in his absence.

As a consequence, there were some unused backing tracks. Imperial actually overdubbed some of those tracks with female singers and an unknown piano player (definitely not Fats!) and included them as filler on some latter-day “Fats Domino” LPs. Those tracks have nothing whatsoever to do with Fats Domino. He neither sings on them, nor does he play piano on them.  It was an easy decision not to include any of these recordings on the box. We think what Imperial did by including those tracks on a “Fats Domino album” was tantamount to fraud and we did not want to perpetuate it. 

 

Category 3.  Some of Fats Domino's recordings were edited after he left the studio. Some of them were shortened. Others were re-assembled from session fragments. Some were both re-assembled and shortened. On “I've Lived My Life”, a band intro that appeared on the original 78 was snipped off when the track was used on a later LP to produce the impression that Fats had started singing “cold”.  Obviously, every track that Fats recorded might be cut in half, extended by repeating a piano solo, faded prematurely, etc. There is no limit to what future engineers might choose to do with original recordings.

We did not feel honor-bound to include every such edit on this box. What we did feel compelled to do was to include Fats’s entire original performance. So, for example, you will discover “I've Lived My Life” exactly as it appeared on the original 78, rather than three seconds shorter because the opening chord was chopped off for a later LP “Boll Weevil” is another track that endured plenty of editing. We made sure the box had the original recording as well as the hit version, which was an edit.

The missing takes on this box are:

26 Sep 2020

Excellent box-set, like the smaller format

Very nice box-set and book. It's an upgrade over the previous box, that one omitted the Paramount tracks. Here the are finally without the distortion and overload. I really like the new format. But paper of the HC book is too thin. I als had a problem with one of the cd’s (cd8), Bear Family replaced the cd free and fast.

20 Sep 2020

Optisch und akustisch hervorragend, aber Box-Format und Schubladenstil nicht gut

Die Recherchen an Musik, Bild- und Filmmaterial sind grandios.
Aber: Was hat sich Bear Family Records bloß dabei gedacht, das Format kleiner als eine LP und die Scheiben in einen dreigeteilten Schuber zu legen? Die Aufmachung aller anderen Boxen ist doch Top! Die Scheiben in JewelCases mit entsprechender Beschriftung ist doch optimal - wieso hat man sich denn bei dieser Box dagegen entschieden?
Wenn ich wissen wollte, was auf der Scheibe zu hören ist, habe ich die Scheiben-Hülle in der Hand gehabt und konnte ablesen. Bei dieser Box muss ich das Buch nehmen, die entsprechende Seite aufschlagen und das Buch so aufgeschlagen neben mich legen und hoffen, dass es nicht gleich wieder zuklappt. Sehr unpraktisch und aufwändig.
Wenn die Box aus dem Regal genommen wird, muß man aufpassen, dass nicht Buch und CD-Schuber durch Übergewicht rausrutschen! DAS kann bei den anderen Boxen nicht passieren.

De kwaliteit van de cd's is slecht. Blijft voortdurend hangen of slaat stukken over. Ligt niet aan mijn cd-speler!!!!! De kwaliteit van de muziek is goed, alhoewel ik vind dat het stereo weergeven niet altijd goed is.

Fats Domino

I have not used this box set as its a Christmas present from my wife. But it is well put together and beautiful. It was delivered very fast and totally unexpected but will have to wait to hear the discs until later. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Guid (Scots for Good) New Year (when it comes).

13 Oct 2019

Musik auf allerhöchstem Niveau.

Endlich hatte ich diese neue Box von Bear Family Records in den Händen und ich habe mich seither ausführlich mit allen Details, der Musik und der Dokumentation, beschäftigt.
Ein erstes, wichtiges Fazit: Alles, rundum alles, was BFR in der Auslobung zu dieser Box an Qualitätsaussagen gesagt und geschrieben hat, das stimmt bis ins Detail. Damit ist eine erste und wichtige Aussage bestätigt: Diese CD-Box ist an Qualität und Umfang nicht mehr zu übertreffen und voll ihren Preis wert.
Das war die Musik meiner Jugend und ist die Musik meiner späteren Jahre geblieben. Wie war das damals in den 1950er Jahren? Es war gar nicht leicht eine 45s Vinyl von Antoine „Fats“ Domino in Deutschland zu ergattern, denn er war hier zunächst ziemlich unbekannt. Das änderte sich erst 1955/1956, als der Song „Blueberry Hill“ die Szene betrat und weitere Titel hinzu kamen und tanzbar waren. Ich möchte sie hier nicht alle aufzählen die Songs, die später und zurecht als „Songs für die Ewigkeit“ bewertet wurden. Sie sind jedenfalls alle auf den 12 CDs dieser Box zu finden. Nie hätte ich gedacht, dass ich heute diese geliebten Titel in einer Qualität hören kann, die alles in den Schatten stellt, was da bisher erschienen ist.
Es sind jetzt gerade zwei Jahre her, seit Fats Domino verstorben ist. Schade, dass er das Album „I’ve Been Around - The Complete Imperial and ABC Recordings (12-CD & DVD)“ aus dem Jahre 2019 nicht mehr zu hören und zu sehen bekam.
Fats Domino hätte seine helle Freude daran gehabt. Nun sind wir dran !

Press - Fats Domino I’ve Been Around - The Complete Imperial and ABC Recordings - goldminemag Domino (1928-2017) was the first major artist to explode off the R&B charts and into the teenage consciousness during the 1950s. He made his mark both as a session pianist behind Big Joe Turner, Lloyd Price, and Smiley Lewis (whose work backed by the keyboardist is heard on I’ve Been Around) and as a star in his own right, notching hit after hit with his sunny vocalizing and romping, rolling work on the 88s. He changed American music in the process by crafting universally popular songs that bridged the then seemingly vast chasm between African-American and white audiences. New Orleans bandleader Dave Bartholomew called him the “cornerstone” of rock ’n’ roll. As biographer Rick Coleman noted in Blue Monday: Fats Domino and the Lost Dawn of Rock ’n’ Roll, the musician “[stepped] beyond blues and jazz to the crossroads of a new, wider world that he would help create both musically and socially.” In 1986 he was one of the 10 inaugural inductees in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

The monumental collection contains 312 tracks comprising all the Crescent City titan’s work forImperial Records, for which he cut his first and greatest hits from 1948-1962, and ABC-Paramount Records, his recording home from 1963-65. A motherlode of originally unreleased alternate takes, undubbed and unedited masters, and newly discovered instrumental backing tracks, is included.

Press - Fats Domino I’ve Been Around - The Complete Imperial and ABC Recordings - shepherdexpress.com
Press - Fats Domino I’ve Been Around - The Complete Imperial and ABC Recordings - shepherdexpress.com A case could be made for 1948 as the birthdate of rock and roll. "Okie Boogie," recorded that year by The Maddox Brothers and Rose, was western swing stripped to bedrock with a furiously pounding rhythm yanking the usually tragic pedal steel along for a reckless ride. Then again, a track by Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys, "Seven Come Eleven," recorded in 1945 and also included in The Bakersfield Sound, also hints at rockabilly with its fierce slapping rhythm. The Bakersfield Sound is a magnificently authoritative 10-CD box set whose heavily illustrated hardbound book contains artist bios and track-by-track notations. Wills was included in the set for his seminal influence on the country music scene that coalesced in the environs of Bakersfield, Calif. The city was a mecca for Dust Bowl refugees with farm fields and oil wells offering work for any man willing to roll up his sleeves. Honky-tonks were their place of refuge when the workday ended. Bakersfield is recalled as an alternative to Nashville, and during the 1960s, it challenged the Tennessee town as country music's capital. All of the folks whose recordings are collected here had aspirations of popularity, and some made it. To generalize the difference with Nashville, the Bakersfield boys (and several gals) were proud of their authentically rural roots and had no interest in hiding them behind slickly conceived pop arrangements.

Press - Fats Domino I’ve Been Around - The Complete Imperial and ABC Recordings - offbeat.com Bear Family Records is releasing a new box set, I’ve Been Around, which offers access to 312 tracks from the New Orleans singer-pianist Fats Domino. The set includes Domino’s work with Imperial Records (recordings from 1948-1962) and–collected for the first time in a Bear Family Records set–Domino’s ABC-Paramount Records sessions (recordings from 1963-1965). Also included are originally unreleased takes, undubbed masters and unreleased instrumental backing tracks, making this set a must-have for any collectors interested in Domino’s life and work. Besides Domino’s iconic music, I’ve Been Around includes both a 60-minute and 90-minute cut of the PBS American Masters documentary Fats Domino and the Birth of Rock ’n’ Roll, which was released in 2016 and includes interviews with the late Dave Bartholomew and Crescent City studio owner Cosimo Matassa. The set also includes a 240-page full-color book, filled with updated notes by biographer Rick Coleman, commentary by producers Hank Davis and Scott Parker, a complete Domino sessionography and a collection of previously unpublished pictures. During the 1950s, Domino was the first R&B artist to gain recognition by the younger generation, bridging the gap between African-American and white audiences. By leaving indelible marks on the history of music–such as “Ain’t it a Shame,” “I’m in Love Again,” “Blue Monday,” “Blueberry Hill” and “I’m Walkin’”–Domino was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986. On Oct. 24, 2017, Domino died at his home in Harvey, LA at the age of 89.

The film — which includes interviews with the late Dave Bartholomew and Crescent City engineer and studio owner Cosimo Matassa — was directed by Joe Lauro and written by Lauro and Rick Coleman. Befitting the wide, deep scope of the set and reflecting Bear Family’s longstanding commitment to quality presentation, I’ve Been Around includes a full-color, hardcover, large-format book of 240 pages. It contains updated and extended notes by biographer Coleman; track-by-track commentary by producers Hank Davis and Scott Parker (who have been involved in more than 50 Bear Family projects); a comprehensive Domino Imperial sessionography and the most complete ABC-Paramount discography available to date; and many previously unpublished images. In its dimensions and clothbound elegance, the box replicates the packaging of two previously released, widely acclaimed Bear Family boxes devoted to a pair of Domino’s fellow inaugural Rock Hall inductees: Chuck Berry’s Rock and Roll Music Any Old Way You Choose It, which compiled the singer-songwriter-guitarist’s complete studio recordings, and Jerry Lee Lewis’ What the Hell Else Do You Need?, the most extensive collection ever produced of the singer-pianist’s Sun Records material.

Press - Fats Domino I’ve Been Around - The Complete Imperial and ABC Recordings - the second disc Get ready to find your thrill, as Bear Family Records has announced the ultimate tribute to singer, pianist, and rock-and-roll pioneer Fats Domino. The new 12CD/1DVD box set I’ve Been Around is due on November 8. It’s packed with 312 tracks including all of Domino’s recordings for Imperial Records, the label on which he made his name and recorded his biggest hits from 1948-1962, and ABC-Paramount Records, where he continued turning out stellar work between 1963-1965. This being a Bear Family box, it also features a treasure trove of originally unreleased alternate takes, undubbed and unedited masters, and backing tracks. With his brash, joyful piano pounding, New Orleans native Antoine “Fats” Domino Jr. was one of the first “crossover” artists to bridge the divide between R&B and pop in the 1950s. It’s no surprise that he was one of the first ten inductees in the first class of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as he was a major influence on such artists as Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Elton John, Bobby Darin, and Randy Newman. All 61 of his R&B chart hits (including nine No. 1s) are present on Bear Family’s box, including his 37 top 40 crossover hits. These songs are still as familiar today as they were six decades ago: “Ain’t It a Shame,” “Blue Monday,” “I’m Walkin’,” and of course, “Blueberry Hill.” The original master tape to the latter, a No. 1 R&B/No. 2 pop smash, is badly damaged, but is presented in superior sound here as derived from a clean, original 78 RPM disk.
