Fats Domino

October 24, 2018 By MMP Producer

Fats Domino passed away today. We had the honor & privilege of working with him on many occasions and we, as well of all of the New Orleans community, truly loved and respected him.

The partnership of Dave Bartholomew, Fats Domino, & Cosimo Matassa turned out hit after hit and helped shape rock & roll. His two fisted boogie woogie style of piano playing was matched by his infectious smile that captured the hearts of millions of fans.
