"Fats, how did this rock 'n' roll all get started anyway?" an interviewer for a Hearst newsreel asked him in 1957. Mr. Domino answered: "Well, what they call rock 'n' roll now is rhythm and blues. I've been playing it for 15 years in New Orleans."

What they call "R & B" nowadays probably killed him.

RIP

I just recently watched a youtube interview with some raggae titans and they said back in the day that one of the radio stations that could reach jamaica emanated out of New Orleans and the ska movement picked up on Fats Domino style of keyboard playing.
