I f you are an old rock and roller, then sad news indeed, add another to the growing list. At least, not lost in a plane crash, or an overdose - or Hurricane Katrina either. Just old age presumably (no cause given yet) You were good man.
R. I. P. The Fat Man.
Mind you, he said he weighed 200 pounds which is only 14st. 4lb. but that was back in the fifties.
To be fair, I thought he had died years ago.
He was my BIG 1950’s R&R hero! Until the Beatles he and Dave Bartholomew were the most successful songwriting team.
A huge talent who always made me feel happy even when the song was a “blues”.
I even took the title of one of his hits as my forum ID!
RIP Fats, you made me cry when you said goodbye.
