FATS DOMINO AT THE BOTTOM LINE - NOVEMBER 6, 1991 - TICKET.

Finding Thrills With the King of ‘Blueberry Hill’

The legendary musician cranked out 25 gold singles and sold 65 million records over his 50-year career.

The singer-songwriter was one of the architects of Rock and Roll along with bandleader and trumpet player Dave Bartholomew. The two teamed up in 1949 and wrote “The Fat Man,” which became a million seller and some historians say may be the first Rock and Roll song. From there the duo went on to record dozens of hits including “Blueberry Hill,” “Ain’t That A Shame” and “I’m Walkin,” to name a few.

In 1986 Domino was awarded the Grammy Lifetime Achievement award and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
