Legendary American artist Fats Domino has died age 89. According to Independent.co.uk, the American singer, pianist and recording artist pioneered rock and roll and inspired countless artists, including Elvis Presley and The Beatles.
His daughter confirmed his death, saying he died peacefully surrounded by family. He hit the top 10 in the charts a staggering ten times during the last half of the 1950s.
His biggest hits include ‘ Blueberry Hill and Ain’t That a Shame’.
Five of his singles released before 1955 sold over a million copies and were certified as gold records.
He was born and raised in New Orleans and adopted a musical style based on traditional rhythm and blues.
Beginning his music career in 1949, he teamed up with trumpet player and bandleader Dave Bartholomew, who produced and co-wrote Domino’s first record “The Fat Man” that same year.
It was the first rock and roll record to sell over a million copies and achieved a No.2 ranking on the R&B charts.
