YoungWillz 21,031 Posted December 5, 2016 Saxophonist Herb Hardesty, heard on most of Fats' recordings, has died aged 91. http://www.wwltv.com/news/local/herb-hardesty-best-known-as-fats-dominos-saxophonist-dies-at-91/362631252 Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_Hardesty Ain't that a shame... Just an FYI I almost never click on these 2016Names links and I can't be alone in that. IOW 99% of what's posted here is banter--not even health updates--and I couldn't care less what anyone thinks about any of these folks on DL, so I mark as read and move on. Please don't bury an obit here, especially when the person is of repute. That is all. SC You are becoming a tiresome troll. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,220 Posted April 9, 2017 His eyes don't look the greatest though. Plus, he's not one I'd expect to make it to the century mark. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,645 Posted April 12, 2017 Still sporting nifty trainers - so likely getting himself around okay. No sign of a carefully parked wheelchair in that shot and he is twisting his body, not caught in the act of falling off the piano stool, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Life Is Beautiful 716 Posted June 15, 2017 With Chuck Berry's passing, is Fats now the oldest soul in Rock and Roll? I can't think of anybody else older unless you count Dave Bartholomew (born 1918, 98 years old) but I don't know if his stuff can be considered 100% rock. (he's in the RnR HoF tho) Ironically, Bartholomew is a long time collaborator and friend of Domino (he composed "Ain't That a Shame" and "Blue Monday", among others.) Here you can see the two artists reunited a couple years ago. From the looks of it, Dave will probably live to be 110. Can't say the same about Fats tho.

Life Is Beautiful 716 Posted October 22, 2017 If this is a recent picture (and it looks like it), he will be the second rock legend to reach 90, and unlike Berry, he might surpass it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
