Fats Domino, Early Rock 'N' Roller with a Boogie-Woogie Piano, Is Dead at 89
Fats Domino, Early Rock ’n’ Roller With a Boogie-Woogie Piano, Is Dead at 89 https://www.nytimes.com/2017/10/25/obituaries/fats-domino-89-one-of-rock-n-rolls-first-stars-is-dead.html October 25, 2017 By JON PARELES and WILLIAM GRIMES Fats Domino in 1967. Fats Domino, the New Orleans rhythm-and-blues singer whose two-fisted boogie-woogie piano and nonchalant vocals, heard on dozens of hits, made him one of the biggest stars of the early rock ’n’ roll era, died on Tuesday at his home in Harvey, La., across the Mississippi River from New Orleans. He was 89. His death was confirmed by the Jefferson Parish coroner’s office. Mr. Domino had more than three dozen Top 40 pop hits through the 1950s and early ’60s, among them “Blueberry Hill,” “Ain’t It a Shame” (also known as “Ain’t That a Shame,” which is the actual lyric), “I’m Walkin’,” “Blue !1 Monday” and “Walkin’ to New Orleans.” Throughout he displayed both the buoyant spirit of New Orleans, his hometown, and a droll resilience that reached listeners worldwide. He sold 65 million singles in those years, with 23 gold records, making him second only to Elvis Presley as a commercial force. Presley acknowledged Mr. Domino as a predecessor. “A lot of people seem to think I started this business,” Presley told Jet magazine in 1957. “But rock ’n’ roll was here a long time before I came along. Nobody can sing that music like colored people. Let’s face it: I can’t sing it like Fats Domino can. -

Publishers (ASCAP), a “performance rights” organization that recovers royalty pay- to WhiteRock ‘n’ Roll ments for the performance of copyrighted music. Until 1939,ASCAP was a closed BY REEBEEGAROFALO society with a virtual monopoly on all copyrighted music. As proprietor of the com- positions of its members, ASCAP could regulate the use of any selection in its cata- logue. The organization exercised considerable power in the shaping of public taste. Membership in the society was generally skewed toward writers of show tunes and The history of popular music in this country-at least, in the twentieth century-can semi-serious works such as Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart, Cole Porter, George be described in terms of a pattern of black innovation and white popularization, Gershwin, Irving Berlin, and George M.

C. Handy, Duke Ellington) would be able to gain entrance to the industry and on the artificial separation of black and white audiences. Because of ASCAP, the vast majority of “untutored” black artists were routinely excluded from industry and audience racism, black music has been relegated to a separate and the society and thereby systematically denied the full benefits of copyright protection. -

Mustang Sally (Wilson Pickett)
Mustang Sally (Wilson Pickett) [Verse 1] Mustang Sally, guess you better slow your Mustang down (what I said now) Mustang Sally, now baby, guess you better slow your Mustang down (oh yeah) You been running all over the town now Oh! I guess I'll have to put your flat feet on the ground (what I said now) [Hook] All you want to do is ride around Sally Ride, Sally, ride All you want to do is ride around Sally Ride, Sally, ride All you want to do is ride around Sally Ride, Sally, ride One of these early mornings oh You gonna be wiping your weeping eyes [Verse 2] I bought you a brand new Mustang About nineteen sixty five Now you come around signifying a woman You don't wanna let me ride Mustang Sally now baby Guess you better slow that Mustang down You been running all over the town Oh! I'll have to put your flat feet on the ground (what I said now) 151 "Mustang Sally" is a rhythm and blues (R&B) song written and first recorded by Mack Rice in 1965. It was released on the Blue Rock label (4014) in May 1965 with "Sir Mack Rice" as the artist. The song uses an AAB layout with a 24-bar structure. It gained greater popularity when Wilson Pickett covered it the following year on a single, a version that was also released on the 1966 album, The Wicked Pickett. Also in 1966, John Lee Hooker recorded an entirely different song with a similar title — "Mustang Sally & GTO". -
Songwriters by TONY FLETCHER
AHMET ERTEGUN AWARD Songwriters BY TONY FLETCHER he truly flourished, as a house writer, arranger, and producer (and the only black man on the payroll). Bringing to bear his four decades of valuable experience, he helped veer Atlantic away from its initial obsession with jazz toward something more danceable. “The only thing that was missin’ from the stuffwe were recordingwas the rhythm,” he told Nick Tosches for the opening profile of the book Unsung Heroes ofRoc\ ’n Roll; Stone claimed to have corrected that absence by creating the bass line at the heart of many an Atlantic recording. Stone’s compositions combined that inveterate swing with an impish humor, as in the debut single for Clyde McPhatter’s Drifters, who took “Money Honey” to the top of the R6s?B charts in 1953. Stone also wrote for Atlantic legends Ray Charles (“Losing Hand”), Ruth Brown (‘A s Long as I’m Moving”), and LaVern Baker (“Soul on Fire”), but he truly left his mark with “Shake, Rattle and Roll.” A familiar battle cry from craps nights, and written specifically for his old Kansas City friend Big Joe Turner, “Shake, Rattle and Roll” popularized a number of ribald references to the sexual act, most famously that of “a one-eyed cat peepin’ in a seafood store. It also rocked like nothing before. Turner’s version was Jesse Stone an R6s?B sensation; the 1954 recording later by Bill Haley and the Comets then helped break the newly labeled “rock 5 ? roll” music among white audiences. Perhaps no other American popular-music composer strad- Stone followed up with “Flip Flop and Fly” for Turner died the twentieth century quite like Jesse Stone, and not (and Haley), “Your Cash Ain ’t Nothin’ but Trash” for the Clo only because he witnessed its every single year. -
