Fats Domino passed away today after a long illness. He was 89. A huge influence on many musicians and a legend of 50's rock n roll. R.I.P. Antoine "Fats" Domino Jr.
From Wiki - "Both John Lennon and Paul McCartney recorded Domino songs. McCartney reportedly wrote the Beatles song "Lady Madonna" in emulation of Domino's style, combining it with a nod to Humphrey Lyttelton's 1956 hit "Bad Penny Blues". Domino returned to the "Hot 100" chart for the last time in 1968, with his recording of "Lady Madonna".
