A GREAT UK LONDON 78 FROM FATS DOMINO

I'M WALKIN' 

b/w  IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE

Fats was the top-selling male R&B artist of the 50s, during which Chuck Berry placed 16 songs on the R&B charts and Little Richard placed 18. Fats' total was 46 (27 of which also made the Pop charts. Add to that 6 Pop hits that didn't make the R&B charts! (Even Elvis “only” had 38 tunes on the Pop charts in the 50s.) In a way, Fats was the Nat “King” Cole of 50s R&B; he just sang, without gimmicks, and made it sound easy. There was nothing threatening about his appearance or his music; adults accepted him almost as easily as their kids.
