Great stuff from the Fat Man.
Your move intrigues me. I bought my first house in Barming, 51 years ago!!

I read this on the BBC News site earlier on and have to admit that I was somewhat surprised as I assumed that he'd died years ago. Sorry Fats.

A rock n roll legend. Only outsold by Elvis. RIP Antoine Domino Jr.

A legend.
RIP
Have to confess that I'd thought him long since departed.

And me.
I also had the uncharitable thought that he must be an outlier in the weight/lifespan table.
Great music. I hope he had a great life.
That video is telling. Black band, white audience. 89 years is a long time.

Guess we all die, but I love most of Fats's stuff. Inspirational, influential. RIP

I'm Walking was always my fave track of his.
Now then rock n rollers, here's a selection of 3BM CD's, if'n you don't got no Fats and you want a cheap comp the two on the right (My Blue Heaven and The Best Of...) are the ones to go for, the Masters is remastered by Boppin Bob Jones and is first rate, the Imperial set is released with the tapes at the recorded speed, some of the singles were sped up, both of these two you can pick up for pence and it'll be an investment with an unbelievable return of fun listening.

Does that leave Little Richard as the only survivor from the early days of R & R ?

Jerry Lee Lewis is alive although there's a few on the forum that would rather he wasn't.
