The Boogie-Woogie King: Fats Domino's Rock and Roll Odyssey

Moore Wine & Music Podcast

Embark on a soul-stirring stroll down memory lane as we honor the pioneering spirit of rock and roll's own Fats Domino, whose artistry left an indelible mark on music and culture. With a life story that began amidst the vibrant rhythms of a Creole-speaking New Orleans home, Fats Domino ascended to stardom, his fingers dancing over piano keys to produce hits that would shape the sound of the '50s and beyond. In this episode, we revel in the triumphs and trials of his journey, from the chart-climbing success of "The Fat Man" to his soulful rendition of "Blueberry Hill," and how his legacy resonated with legends like John Lennon. Yet, our tale doesn't shy away from the darker notes of his era, as we reflect on the societal struggles Fats Domino faced as an African American artist in the segregated South.
