This film is from a 1962 concert Fats Domino did in France, where it sat in the French National Archive until recently...here's the original band from his early recordings...takin' Mardi Gras to the masses...NOLA to the world!
On this day in 1959 {March 6th} Fats Domino performed "Telling Lies" and "When the Saints Go Marching In" on the Dick Clark ABC-TV weekday-afternoon program, 'American Bandstand'... The following week "Telling Lies" would peak at #50, then the very next week "When the Saints Go Marching In" would peak at #50 and "Telling Lies" dropped down to #59... But two weeks later "Telling Lies" would return to #50 for a second non-consecutive week... And exactly two years later on March 6th, 1961 Fats would once again be on 'Bandstand', at that appearance he performed "What A Price" {peaked at #22} and "Ain't That Just Like A Woman" {reached #33}... Between 1952 and 1968 the New Orleans native had sixty-eight records on the Top 100 chart, ten made the Top 10 with his biggest hit being "Blueberry Hill", it peaked at #2 {for 3 weeks} on Billboard's Most Played by Jockeys chart, and for the three weeks it was at #2, the #1 record was "Singing The Blues" by Guy Mitchell... Antoine Domino Jr. passed away at the age of 89 on October 24th, 2017... May he R.I.P.
Jordanrodrigues good comment SO MANY great black musicians in the 1950s and early 1960s no attitude or racism towards others,and they were not really appreciated by Americans.
True story: In 1956 a reporter asked Elvis Presley who he thought was the King of Rock 'n Roll." Without skipping a beat, Elvis replied, "Fats Domino." How right he was. All bow the Fat Man.
