Happy Birthday to Fats Domino! 86 years young today.

I believe that Fats sold more records in the 1950s than anyone not named Elvis. Fats' recording career dates back to 1949's 'The Fat Man.'

He tends to rarely leave his beloved New Orleans these days but does make local appearances from time to time from what I understand.

1. I once marched right past his house

in the Lower Ninth Ward. It was in one of the first MLK Day Parades. I was among the few white people there, if not the only one. I could tell it was Fats' house because it was emblazoned with giant stars and the initials "FD".

3. That's a really great story. Fats has always been such a positive force in this world.

Plus the man has style with his tasty suits and shoes, that mansion and the pink caddy!

2. My first thought..."you made..duh duh...me cry...duh duh... when you said ... duh duh ...Goodbye

4. He had a ton of hits in the 50s and early 60s.

I think my favorite is 'I'm Walkin''.
