You know as far as oldies go, people always overlook one man

[HEyHEY]

This cat right here. He's got to be the most underated Oldies singer. You never hear of him.

1. Is that chubby checker, or fats domino?

I always get them mixed up.

[HEyHEY]

2. Fats

He's the man!

[NightTrain]

3. Maybe you don't about Fats Domino in Western Canada...

...but here in Connecticut, he's one of the few '50s artists you can still hear on our worthless oldies stations. Of course, they always spin the same four or five songs out of the hundreds of great ones he recorded! :grr:

[HEyHEY]

5. That's what I mean

And people will know bill hayley before fats

4. Blueberry Hill

I found my thrill
On blueberry hill
On blueberry hill
When i found you
The moon stood still
On blueberry hill
And lingered until
My dream came true.

The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows you made
Were never to be
Though we're apart
You're part of me still
For you were my thrill
On blueberry hill.

The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows you made
Were only to be
Though we're apart
You're part of me still
For you were my thrill
On blueberry hill.

6. Unfortunately, I always think of "Richie Cunningham" when I hear it

[Elidor]

7. I love Fats

Unfortunately, the only copy of his stuff I have is apparently a cleaned up version, as in someone told him to re-record his hits for a greatest compilation and not sound so soulful. Instead of singing in a smoky bar, he sounds like he's in church. But he's great anyway. Is he still alive?

[Ivan Zero]

9. Fats is still with us

76 years old and still rollin' along.
