- “The Fat Man” (1950) This rollicking two minutes and 37 seconds exploded out of New Orleans as a mix of Delta blues melody and boogie-woogie piano, of sexual energy and free-floating flights of jazz-touched vocal fancy, of Domino’s hard-pounding piano rhythm and a young Earl Palmer’s steady backbeat – in essence, one of the first rock & roll records in existence.
- “Goin’ Home” (1952) Domino scored his first R&B Number One with this forlorn cut, a farewell to a troublesome lover co-written with Alvin E. Young. “Goin’ home tomorrow/Can’t stand your evil ways,” he sings against a hard-swinging half-time blues groove.
- “Ain’t That a Shame” (1955) In the summer of 1955, “Ain’t That a Shame” became Domino’s first pop smash, after a string of R&B hits. Pat Boone’s whitebread cover (which Boone allegedly wanted to be titled “Isn’t That a Shame”) reached Number One, but as Jerry Wexler put it, “Fats Domino is still the thing.
- “Blueberry Hill” (1956) “Blueberry Hill” was first recorded in 1940 by several artists, including Gene Autry and Glenn Miller. But Domino drew on the 1949 Louis Armstrong version when he had run out of material at a session.
