Legends of Rock & Roll: Fats Domino

By James Hoag

This is a love letter. I love the music of the Fifties. Actually, I love the music of the Sixties and Seventies, etc. as well, but the Fifties have always been my favorite. I hope that love comes through as I discuss one of the greats of that era, Fats Domino.

The first musician to become a rock & roll icon solely on the strength of his music and talent and not because of some novelty or image was Fats Domino. It is said that Fats Domino put the rhythm in “rhythm and blues”.

This little book covers the following points in Fats Domino's life:

Introduction
The Early Years
Imperial Records Era (1949 – 1962)
Ain’t That a Shame
Blueberry Hill
Movies
On the Road
Post Imperial Recording Career (1963 – 1970s)
Later Career (1980s-2005)
Hurricane Katrina
Post-Katrina activity
Legacy
Discography

James Hoag

James Hoag has always been a big fan of Rock & Roll. Most people graduate from high school and then proceed to "grow up" and go on to more adult types of music. James got stuck at about age 18 and has been an avid fan of popular music ever since. His favorite music is from the Fifties, the origin of Rock & Roll and which was the era in which James grew up. But he likes almost all types of popular music including country music.After working his entire life as a computer programmer, he is now retired and he decided to share his love of the music and of the performers by writing books that discuss the life and music of the various people who have meant so much to him over the years.He calls each book a "love letter" to the stars that have enriched our lives so much. These people are truly Legends.
