Two final songs from the great Fats Domino: When the Saints Go Marching in and Sentimental Journey. Domino, who has died aged 89, sold astonishing quantities of records from the start of the 1950s until the early 60s. Domino was an original, one of the creators of rock’n’roll, and by far the biggest selling rhythm and blues artist of that time. When he toured he took 200 pairs of shoes and 30 suits on the road, and wore big diamond rings. His performing style was simple, like his songs, but he would add a touch of flamboyance at the end by pushing the piano with his stomach! Fats (Antoine) Domino, musician, born 26 February 1928; died 24 October 2017. RIP.
