Album Notes
Recorded between 1956 and 1958. Includes liner notes by Rick Coleman.
Although Fats Domino was not a showman on par with Jerry Lee Lewis or Elvis Presley, the music he played was no less important to the development of rock & roll. This collection documents Domino's most famous singles. "I'm in the Mood for Love" is a jazzy B-side that resonates just as beautifully today as it did in 1957. On this selection, Domino's singing invokes the New Orleans tradition, and, on the song's bridge, a saxophone section answers each vocal phrase with sweetly harmonized riffs.
"Whole Lotta Loving" is more overtly rock & roll. This '58 song climbed all the way to Number 2 on R&B charts and Number 6 on the pop charts, reinforcing Domino's crossover appeal. In fact, this simple, contagious dance track--replete with kissing sounds--demonstrated yet again that Domino was much more than just an R&B fad. However, it was "Blueberry Hill," recorded two years earlier, that set the stage for Domino's enduring legacy. This loping 12/8 ballad combines boogie-woogie, blues, and rock & roll to stunning effect. But what makes this lyric of bittersweet love so successful is Domino himself; his bouncy, charismatic voice is truly heartwarming.
