FATS DOMINO - AIN'T THAT A SHAME 1955 kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2eti4ptr7J3nLs

[@MusicLiberates]

You’ll enjoy seeing Fats Domino performing “Ain’t that a Shame” on You-Tube, from 1955 or 56. This man was one of the inventors of Rock n Roll !!

[@russelldavis4938]

All the following are big hits and short in length. Maybe you could do 3 at a time. "Walkin' to New Orleans". "Blue Monday", "Blueberry Hill", "I'm Walkin", and "Ain't That a Shame"

[@ezekiellove6853]

Add im Walking to New Orleans, I'm walking and Blueberry Hill. Fats Domino was great

[@timpugh4100]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/j162dp6HqZief8U Fats domino the fat man

[@Silber7]

True legend, he was around when Rock'n'roll was born - literally. And he never was not smiling :) Impossible not to like his songs too

[@vinnygi]

Some consider his song “The Fat Man” to be the first rock and roll song.

[@ragjamrock]

Fats was from N'awlins.This music was what Ska and Reggae grew out of! Fats Domino's big hit was Blueberry Hill.🎶🎹🌴

[@djhrecordhound4391]

Record fact for you: First US and Canadian copies were full of tape flaws like dropouts, and had a bad 'tape drag' at the lyric "all of those vows we m-a--de". Every version since had an oldschool 'copy/paste' from the "all those vows you made" part to patch it back up. So originally the lyrics had that slight difference, but it got changed to repeat because of bad tape.

[@vincentfadale3140]

There you have the real essence of rock n roll - pure joy and excitement. Fats is one of the cornerstones of rock n roll. Thank you for giving a taste to those who did not know him

[@swampmagiclouisiana1490]

He was my Mama’s favorite ❤️❤️Blueberry hill... Walking to New Orleans..So many more!!! Thank you! New Orleans favorite 💜💛💜💛

[@bobr4987]

Fats Domino was played a lot on the radio back in the day and was loved worldwide. Van Morrison payed tribute to him with the song "Domino". There's a place in Van's song where he says "listen to the band"! And those horns come in just like in Fats song.. So yes he was an icon and a major influencer. Thanks for keeping this alive Jamel!

[@robertwatson496]

It's a joy to much artist having a good time performing their music. Love this music!!

[@rogerjones8809]

I can’t believe how many of the greats and also my favorites you have covered! Fats Domino, a legend in his own time before he died, but he did RIP. I lived in New Orleans for 30 years and it was a truly sad day for the city, and the world when he died!

[@waynecatterton5127]

Love me some Fats Domino, a true legend!

[@vicmusgrave1278]

I was friends with Fats and his family. I was in service industry in NOLA. 20_yes I took care of his vehicles. He was the nicest guy you will ever met. Humble as they come. Loved fats. Miss fats.

[@catlee3730]

My mom saw him and his band live in the '50s in the Denver area. A special time in the musical evolution … Happy to have grown up with his music in the mix!

[@bobbierobinson6269]

Fats Domino was a legend and could do no wrong. What's really amazing is you hear gossip about musicians, even if just a little...He didn't. An amazing person and talent.

[@amandahuggenkissxo5360]

We all be-boppin! With some simple chords and a beat, the possibilities are infinite. You can feel it. Rock-n-Roll will never die!

[@RitaMae13]

Always gonna be a fav artist! Grew up listening to Fats ❤❤

[@TheCosmicGenius]

Fats Domino - one of the absolute greats of rock & roll. Check out his song, 'I'm Walking', or, 'I'm Gonna Be a Wheel Someday', or, 'I'm Ready'.

[@Batterybus]

Can't forget Blueberry Hill.

[@FunkyMarcel]

Fats Domino---first concert i ever saw, I was about 12.....he always had a smile on his face...

[@davidkelly2355]

He is one of my favorites from the 1950s . He bought the New Orleans sound to rock ‘n ‘ roll

[@TheCosmicGenius]

Oh - don't forget - he did the original version of, 'Ain't that a Shame', which was covered by John Lennon & Cheap Trick.

[@Stephen-nd1sx]

My grandfather had a juke box from 1950. It had this single. Great memories listening to this song.

[@armywife1641]

He was such a phenomenal singer and entertainer ❤️

[@pinebarrenslegend8392]

This was great. I’m so happy you did this. My old man loved Fats Domino. I remember him watching this on the old TV.

[@CesareVesdani]

The reaction of my Girl Josephine is a great reaction.

[@johnboydTx]

The New Orleans sound💞🥂🍾one of the first to bring the BLUES SHUFFLE to the country.... A Legend in ROCK AND ROLL!!! 😎👍💙💜💙💜✌

[@raenellefisher8514]

One of my favorite singers.

[@nancy9478]

I love doo wop, bebop and all things Fats. He makes me wiggle in my seat when I am driving!!!

[@grindhouseglitch]

Ain't That A Shame, Blue Monday, Blueberry Hill and I'm Walking are musts for you!

[@kmills62]

no one makes music like this anymore....pure genious....

[@sarahhitti1173]

Fats Dominos - I'm walkin' - is a great one.

[@gregwatson3300]

A true New Orleans legend. I don't think he ever wrote or recorded a bad tune. Check out the original studio version sometime so you can actually hear it. But hey, we can't blame the crowd for making some noise for Fats. :)

[@beerblues762]

A true legend. It makes me angry that he never got as much recognition as Elvis Presley but the fact is back then when he started music was segregated and it was only thanks to Elvis that African American music got finally transmitted to a white audience.

[@otisdylan9532]

Fats was one of the very best of the '50s rockers, with lots of good songs, most about 2 minutes long. He's probably best known for his cover of "Blueberry Hill", but he also had many fine originals: "Blue Monday", "I'm in Love Again", and "I'm Walkin'" are among the best. I hope you'll revisit Fats. If you want to use a live video from his peak period, it will probably be in black & white, but of course, studio versions are fine too.

[@joeyboedeker7205]

One of the Original Kings of Rock and Roll. I'm old enough to remember Wolfman Jack talking about him on the radio

[@topgazza]

Glorious stuff, one of the roots of all music. Fats, Little Richard, Chuck and James. From gospel to rock and roll to just about everything. These people are fundamental.

[@krissmgvlogs]

For the record Elvis said Fats Domino was the king of rock and roll. He said it at a press conference in 1968 and Fats was present but the media mostly ignored the statement and Fats.

[@bwana-ma-coo-bah425]

I know, and Elvis fans world wide will deny it too.

[@krissmgvlogs]

@@bwana-ma-coo-bah425 who cares. I'm only repeating what Elvis said.

All of Fats Dominos music just makes you happy. It just puts you in a happy place and you don't want to leave.

[@wadedwigans442]

Hes one of those few people that makes me feel sad about bein born too late. I bet he was a fantastic person to know in life.

[@josephwithrow5795]

One of the biggest names we had come out of new Orleans just wish I'd been able to see him play live RIP to a legend

[@TaylorTiree]

Fats Domino and my late father Stanley were born in 1928. My Dad was a massive fan. Sending best wishes Jamel from London 🇬🇧

[@roniboyd613]

Jamel, it's impossible to sit still or be quiet when listening to Fats! Now you NEED to react to the rest of his hits, you will need a new chair to dance in!

[@boxerpaws55]

my aunt Esther grew up down by Pittsburgh and just loved Fats. He was very popular down there.the song i remember most was Aint that a Shame. you have to know at least one Fats song. you wouldn't have rock as you know it today without these old 1950 cats

[@MrBillbies]

I was at a North Woods Camp with my Radio. Everything was quiet and dark, when all of a sudden, "This time I'm Walking to New Orleans". Magic!

[@dannysunay8099]

Thank you Jamal! My dad was a big fan of his! May they both rest in peace!🙏🤜

[@shonuff4678]

One of my grandads favorites was Fats. He had all the records and I still listen to them. “Blue Monday” is one of my favorites or “I’m ready”

[@smithbros1000]

Back in the early 80's the best bar-be-que in Omaha came from a little place called "Ma and Pa West." "Ma," in her younger days, was a back up singer for Fats Domino. Also the best sweet potato pie EVER!

[@rexmorningstar9332]

one of the many roots of Rock-n-Roll...............

[@MusicFan1977]

Fats Domino had so many great songs. You gotta check them out!

[@mikenolan8044]

That sound really brings me back. My first slow close dancing with a girl was to Blueberry Hill. We were both all of 13. Yes I am that old. 😁

[@karaminalee]

Aaah yeahhhhh! Fats was a pioneer. Can’t tell you how much I love this song, and this man.

[@katemckay6105]

Blueberry Hill is my all time favourite.

[@reginalemoine5809]

Fats was a bit before my time, but I grew up listening to him because 1. I’m from New Orleans, and 2. My dad was a huge fan. He was a much bigger contributor to early rock and roll than he gets credit for. He was so loved by this city that one of the major concerns after Katrina was whether Fats was okay because he lived in the 9th ward. My favorite song by him is Walkin’ to New Orleans.

[@christina9841]

Makes me want to go dancing, I love it!!!

[@marniethedyslexic6445]

I love fats domino so much. Love it Jamel thank you.😀👍❤️✌️🌼

[@gmlcajun]

That's a good song to jitterbug dancing down here in Louisiana ✌️❤️💯

[@lancelumley2312]

Every NY Eve I watch a concert with Fats and Ricky Nelson- Nelson's first hit was a cover of "I'm Walkin" which they sing together. Gotta dive into more of the Fat Man's music-great stuff esp live.

[@deirdremacnamara9885]

Good old fashioned jiving music. Love it. Thanks Jamel. 👍🎶

[@lawrencesantana7253]

Just about all his songs are around that same time. And ALL his songs are fantastic.

[@deeporter7369]

My parents had a Fats LP...... They would roll the living room carpet back and jive to his music.

[@wadedwigans442]

My favorite of his and thats sayin somethin considering all his huge hits!!

[@cheersbobby1626]

It’s about time you listened to the Rival Sons! They will blow you away. You want to by them is so great. Watch their Canadian radio station version. Love your videos Jamal! Cheers!

[@TheBlack-my5yf]

Man, I remember my father singing this. My mother said he wanted to name my sister Josephine. She wasn't having it.

[@oliviahanson4021]

I used to do the stroll with my cousins in their basement to Fats Domino when we were like 11 years old. I had this album.

[@richardbishop8666]

Not only was Fats a great entertainer he was a good man. Love this reaction and hope you will check out some more great music from one of the pioneers of rock n roll.

[@trueblue08sthlm]

Fats is one of the greatest! Had his first hit record in 1949 and just kept on rockin. In an interview in the late fifties, when beeing asked about the new rock n roll craze, he said something like; "it is also called rythm n blues and i´ve been doing it for 15 years..." My dads Fats Domino ep:s were some of my first real music experiences and they made an impact to say the least. Regarding original versions and covers, here are a couple of tips: "I hear you knockin" - Original version - 1961 - Fats Domino kzbin.info/www/bejne/npK4q3l_qp2Zd5Y "I hear you knockin" - Cover version - 1972(?) - Dave Edmunds kzbin.info/www/bejne/nn7NqJVnaLl5edE "I´m Ready" - Original version - 1959 - Fats Domino kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmPIi414gtlkebM "I´m Ready" - Cover version Live - 2006(?) - Albert Lee & The Refreshments

[@MrLunck]

this is what i grew up with great rock and roll

[@TheDjdonnie68]

Fats was a pioneer of rock n roll. Please, please, please, do "I'm gonna be a wheel" ! One of my absolute favorite fats domino songs.

[@bwana-ma-coo-bah425]

Elvis fans disagree, they think he was.

[@rcalk3200]

ALBUM "STEEL WHEELS" SONG "ALMOST HEAR YOU SIGH" BAND " ROLLING STONES

[@SavedChampion]

Fats Domino drove a big pink Cadillac. One of the original rockers.

[@Music--ng8cd]

Playin those triplets, with a voice that sounds like a saxophone

[@keithcerff-wanderingoverla5448]

Love the channel. Your reaction gets me grooving to and shoulder jumping like I’m a little kid again. Thanks you for keeping the music alive. Here in Australia Jimmy Barnes is a classic. Pls react to Jimmy Barnes - Working Class Man. He is just crazy with his high range vocals. Cheers brother ✌️

[@cyndybensema7189]

One of my favorite Mardi Gras songs. I don't care who sings it! Love it! :) I think my favorite is the Zydeco version though. You can't go wrong with Fats Domino though! I remember being worried he drowned in Katrina....

[@perrymanso6841]

Fats Domino - Ain't That A Shame

[@donniemoore2025]

So how does one make a request? I would recommend some early Tony Joe White. "POLK SALAD ANNIE, IRA & LAURA MAE JONES". Or one he released in later YERS"AINT GOING DOWN THIS TIME".

[@kirpalite]

Play more Fats-- more, more, more. Walkin' to New Orleans.

[@jamesgallaway3518]

Loved his music. I suggest Yes it’s me and I’m in love again. And Walking to New Orleans.

[@jeanstrickland2445]

This is so great makes you want to dance!

[@MartyRenn]

Yes check out some of his other hits” I’m walkin’ “ Blueberry hill” Ain’t that a shame”

[@beedeegee9374]

New Orleanians are proud to call him a native son. R.I.P. Fats

[@naomiwarner7117]

Some people want to blast Elvis on here but, Fats and Elvis loved each other as brothers! There's a video on YT that you should watch where that Fats dicates his song ( Blueberry Hill ) to Elvis, Elvis' fav song of Fats! It's at Austin City Limits, Live! Please look it up and, react to it, then you'll know how Fats felt about Elvis Presley! Thank you.

[@kylehern5132]

I love Fats Domino! I recommend "I'm Walkin" and "I'm Ready". These are short too. Maybe 2 songs in 1 video? 😀

[@Duchess28]

Oh you´ve missed out. I was raised on music from Fats and Elvis. Fats has a LOT of great tunes :-)

[@paulinwoburn9680]

Jamel, you have to react to more groups from New Orleans. You have to do more Fats, Dr. John (I know you've done at least one song by him), Professor Longhair, Allen Toussant, the Neville Brothers. I know there's more, but I can't think of them now.

[@gb_victor7951]

Fats would always smile when he sang

[@Godlovesyouneway]

More Antoine Fats Domino..love him

[@ddstify]

Dianah Washington- what a difference a day makes!

[@shoogerkane]

Fats deserves more credit for contributing to the development of rock 'n roll (he's undoubtedly a pioneer of R&B).

[@debbiedesotell9549]

A Louisiana treasure! You need to watch Blueberry Hill!

[@perijetton9275]

I love this so much ♥️

[@davidwalker683]

He had a lot of good tracks.. an icon

[@songsmithy07]

My wife was in New Orleans after Katrina, taking a cab to the airport. She asked me the taxi driver how things were going, and he said, "We almost lost Fats. He's still not doing so great, and he won't take his medicine " She said to tell him she said he needs to take his medicine. The taxi guy dialed a number in his phone, and said, "Tell him yourself." So she takes the phone, and sure enough, Fats answers. She tell him about the taxi man saying he wouldn't take his meds, and how he needs to take his meds. There was a pause, and Fats says, "Who is this?" She goes on explaining how she's riding a taxi to the airport, and asks how things are going since Katrina in the city, and the driver tells her how he isn't taking his medicine so she's calling to tell him to be a good boy and take his meds. There is another pause, and Fats says, "You talk too much."

[@VorlonFrog]

Taj Mahal recorded a fantastic cover of this song just a few years ago. Definitely worth a listen.

[@Baloo_The_Bear_83]

Yup he is a legend I have two greatest hits albums.

I always thought Chubby Checker was playing off of Fats Domino name wise.
