February 26th is Antoine "Fats" Domino Day!!!
Well, hard to describe music, so definitely take a chance to listen to some of his music and you will see why there should be a day dedicated to him. He is a huge influence on all music, but his specialty was definitely the piano. He brought a style to the piano that was not jazz, blues, or classical, but it was rock n' roll!!! His singing is also the inspiration for what we now call R&B music (or what it used to be, today's R&B is not very good). Anyways, definitely take some time to listen to some of his music and appreciate the greatness and also the obstacles he had to overcome to even be able to get his music produced. Thank you Mr. Domino for all of your contributions and inspiration! Please click the link below and learn more about Antoine "Fats" Domino.
