Recording information by Bjay1956GOLD
TIMELINE
February 26, 1928: Antoine “Fats” Domino Jr. is born in New Orleans. One of nine children, he learns the fundamentals of music from his brother-in-law, Harrison Verret.
December 10, 1949: Having signed to the Imperial label, Fats Domino cuts eight tracks during his first recording session at Cosimo Matassa’s J&M Studios. . They include “The Fat Man” (adapted from a song called “Junkers Blues"), which reaches #2 on the R&B chart and reportedly sold a million copies. Some regard it as the first rock and roll record.
June 21, 1952: “Goin’ Home” becomes the first of nine #1 hits for Fats Domino on the R&B chart. It is released on Imperial records. Those nine singles will top the R&B chart for a combined 51 weeks between 1952-59, amounting to nearly a full year’s worth of chart supremacy!
August 1, 1954: Fats Domino performs as part of the Alan Freed-promoted “Moondog Jubilee of Stars Under the Stars” at Ebbets Field in Brooklyn. Other acts on the bill: Muddy Waters, the Clovers, the Orioles, Little Walter.
April 14, 1955: Fats Domino releases “Ain’t That a Shame,” previously popularized by Gene Autry and Glenn Miller. Domino’s version tops the R&B chart for 11 weeks, eventually entering the pop charts in mid-July. It is the first in a string of 37 crossover hits for Domino during the next eight years.
August 27, 1955:Fats Domino hits #1 on the R&B chart and #10 on the pop chart with “Ain’t That A Shame”, #1 on the R&B chart with “All By Myself” and #1 on the R&B chart with “Poor Me”. All three singles are released on Imperial records.
March 1, 1956: ‘Rock and Rollin’ With Fats Domino’, his first long-playing album, is released on the Imperial label.
July 14, 1956: Fats Domino hits #1 on the R&B chart and #3 on the pop chart with “I’m In Love Again” on Imperial records.
December 1, 1956: Fats Domino appears with Big Joe Turner in the breakthrough rock and roll film Shake, Rattle and Roll, performing three songs. A month later, he also turns up in The Girl Can’t Help It, singing “Blue Monday.”
December 1, 1956: Fats Domino’s highest-charting Top 40 hit, “Blueberry Hill,” reaches #2 (and tops the R&B chart for 11 weeks). It is held back from the top pop spot by Guy Mitchell’s “Singing the Blues.” Despite a career as hit-filled as his, Domino will—like Creedence Clearwater Revival—never have a #1 pop record. Might it have to do with the fact that both recorded for independent labels?
