Classic! I found a 78 of Fats Domino at a garage sale. Loved the song, didn't want to wear out the 78. The song is "Blue Monday." This CD has that and more.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I've allways enjoyed Fats Dominos music, specially Blueberry Hill. It takes me back to when times in my life were better than now, simple times, younger, people would take time to listen to good music with good friends. Fats' music has everything you would want in soul/R&B. I've enjoyed listening to this CD very much.
The key point to know about this collection is that some of the original hits were cut with the tape speed up. On this collection they are presented at the correct pitch which many prefer but others may want the version they remember from the radio. It's a great single disc collection, but the 4cd box and even larger Bear Family box are awesome as well. It's just a matter of how much of the Fat Man do you want and at what speed.
This is a Best of type CD and if you like Fats as I do, it's absolutely great with most of his super songs from the '50's and '60's. He was a superb performer and put his heart and soul into every song he sang.
GREAT SONGS, WITH AN UPBEAT DELIVERY AND OUTSTANDING PIANO PLAYING. PURCHASED, BECAUSE IT WAS AN EXCELLENT EARLY ROCK&ROLL CHOICE FOR PARTY OR DANCE.
