finetune artist: Fats Domino

New Orleans pianist/singer and rock & roll pioneer Fats Domino's playing, like that of Professor Longhair, was derived from the rich mixture of musical styles to be found in New Orleans, including jazz, Latin rhythms, boogie-woogie, Cajun, and blues. Domino's personal synthesis of these influences involved lazy, rich vocals supported by rolling piano rhythms. During the early 1950s, Domino gradually became one of the most successful R&B artists in America. By 1955, rock & roll had arrived, young white audiences were ready for Domino's music, and he began scoring frequent hits on the pop charts.

As Duke Ellington might have said, Fats is beyond comment.
