Performer Notes:
- 2 LPs on 1 CD.
- Liner Note Author: Marv Goldberg.
- By combining New Orleans boogie-woogie with blues, R&B, and a strong backbeat, Fats Domino altered the very course of popular music. On HERE STANDS FATS DOMINO and THIS IS FATS, numerous Fats classics are presented, including "I'm Walkin'," a fast, contagious shuffle that brings to life all the romance and charm of a 1950s sock-hop.
- Although standards "I'm in the Mood for Love" and "As Time Goes By" (arranged here by Domino's songwriting partner Dave Bartholomew) had more success in the hands of jazz vocalists, they lend themselves well to this milieu. For example, "As Time Goes By" is performed as a rocking instrumental, and it shows off Domino's skillful piano work. "Hey La Bas" is another piano feature, and here Domino demonstrates his boogie-woogie approach (a la Professor Longhair). Even though Domino was a fine pianist, his strongest suit was his voice. In fact, his animated singing on "I'll Be Gone" just may be the highlight of this disc. Deeply emotional, yet precise and measured, Domino's singing style captures the emerging spirit of rock & roll throughout this 26-track disc.
