Life Is Beautiful 716 Posted October 25, 2017 Who would have thought that a black man nicknamed "Fats" who had a hit number in the 40's will live until late October 2017? He was without a doubt not only a musical icon, but a cultural icon, the man most responsible for shattering racial barriers between whites and blacks by playing and being accepted by white audiences during a time where African American were still lynched and hanging from the highest trees for looking at a white woman. RIP. Ladies and gentlemen, once again, Mr. Fats Domino. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQQCPrwKzdo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

msc 18,421 Posted October 25, 2017 Anyhow, RIP Fats. Remarkable that an already aged man said to be "extremely frail" at the time of Hurricane Katarina survived not only the storm, but practically three whole Presidential terms since. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Eerie that this was taken just days before his death. You just never know. I suspect he died of a heart attack. Anyways, RIP Fats. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ironically you post that on a thread I predicted the man's death within 2 days. I had Diski on my lists....so not sure where that is coming from. I scored points all around. Two very odd remarks, imho. SC 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A search reveals: On 2/6/2016 at 11:54, Sir Creep said: If Howard Marks dies this year of the affliction complained of, I'll buy each of you a Curly-Wulry candy bar.

TheKestrelofDoom 21 Posted October 25, 2017 Fats your lot.... For me, he's one of those people I had down as "died years ago" as his heyday was so long ago.... and I was most surprised to hear he was still kicking, up until today that is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
