brc Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 I am an old school rock n roller, and grew up in the late 40s / 50s and it’s sad to hear so many of the greats I grew up listing to are passing away. I know that they are getting up there in the years. Fats was 89, but it’s still sad to hear their passing. He was one of the originals for sure.

Dennis G Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 As a kid born in '46, and lived through the evolution of "rock n roll", all I can say is that I am again sad that another pioneer has passed. RIP Antoine, RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaxson50 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 One of the pioneers of Rock and Roll, he influenced many of us who grew up in the 50s and 60s, Billy Preston no doubt was a deciple of Fats style, and Paul McCartney stated that he wrote Lady Madonna with Fats Domino’s Blue Heaven in mind.RIP, 89 is a damn good run.

Megafrog Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I remember seeing him on Happy Days back in the 1970s, my first exposure to his music. What a great talent lost. Rest In Peace Fats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
