5.0 out of 5 stars Rock'n'roll music from New Orleans, 9 Mar 2005
By 
Peter Durward Harris "Pete the music fan" (Leicester England) - See all my reviews
(No. 1 Hall OF FAME REVIEWER)    (TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Best Of Fats Domino (Audio CD)
Like Memphis, New Orleans is a cultural melting pot, where you can find many different styles of music. Fats was already a successful recording artist long before the birth of rock'n'roll - he sold a million copies of The fat man in 1949 - but rock'n'roll gave his career a boost.

This compilation includes The fat man and two other pre-rock'n'roll successes (Going home, Going to the river) but mostly focuses on Fats' music between 1956 and 1962. Many of these songs are originals but the song for Fats is most famous, Blueberry hill, is actually a cover. Glen Miller had the original American hit with Blueberry hill, taking in to number one in 1940, but Fats was apparently inspired by Louis Armstrong's cover of the song. Blueberry hill was the only UK top ten hit for Fats although he had nine other UK top twenty hits. He did better in America, where he had many more major hits.

Among the other tracks here, one of the most significant is Be my guest, which, more than any other track here, shows why Fats was an influence on Jamaican reggae music. I hear you knocking, originally a Smiley Lewis song, will be familiar to many Brits because of the version by Dave Edmunds that topped the UK charts in 1971.

Many other classic Fats Domino hits are here including Ain't that a shame, I'm walking, Jambalaya, I'm in love again, Blue Monday, I want to walk you home and Walking to New Orleans.

If you just want a single CD of Fats Domino's rock'n'roll music, this is as good as you are likely to find.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rock with The Fatman, 2 Feb 2010
By 
John R. Woolmore (Essex UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Best Of Fats Domino (Audio CD)
Fats Domino never ceases to bore me. His music always gets my feet moving. I was looking for a compilation which encompassed most of his hits and popular songs at a reasonable price and this was it. My only disappointment is that Red Sails in The Sunset is not included - probably because he recorded it with another company.
