Sorry to see him go. He was a special talent.

Re: Goodbye Fats

When I was a teen I listened and  danced to Blueberry Hill and Aint that a shame also watched him on TV then in my later years I was playing with a band the "Greenmen" in Shreveport Louisiana and we backed up Fats at the club we were also booked into he was an easy going guy and a great entertainer  RIP "Fats"

Re: Goodbye Fats

Fats influenced a lot of other performers. He started a new sound and it stuck. He will be missed however his music will live on for years to come.

Music is what feelings sound like.
Music is life, that why our hearts have beats.

Re: Goodbye Fats

I always loved Fats vocal style. I  call him the Nat King Cole of rock. His  music is a much loved part of my record collection.
