By pure coincidence I was listening to him today. Some of the stuff he did was just brilliant.
This is a great clip where Fats is talking about his style to Jools Holland

Blueberry Hill was probably the first adult song I got infected by when I was a little kid, playing over and over on the stereo my mom's copy (which was actually her brother's but he was in Nam so she had his records) and I still like to play that same 50 year-old record now loud on my stereo sometimes...

There is no other city quite like New Orleans, LA, USA. They celebrate the lives they lose with what is called a "second line." This video shows the huge second line which traveled through the 9th Ward on Nov 1, 2017, in honor of the great Fats Domino passing away at the age of 88. https://youtu.be/n7yhfj__6CM
