Special airs
for performer’s
88th birthday
Fats Domino was one of the
most popular rockers of the 1950s
and early 60s. His achievements
and record sales during that time
were rivaled only by Elvis Pres-
ley. With his boogie-woogie piano
playing rooted in blues, rhythm &
blues, and jazz, he became one of
the inventors, along with Presley,
Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis and
Little Richard of a revolutionary
genre of music, rock ‘n’ roll.
In celebration of Fats Dom-
ino’s 88th birthday, Thirteen’s
American Masters presents, “Fats
Domino and The Birth of Rock
‘n’ Roll,” premiering nationwide
during Black History Month on
Friday, Feb. 26 at 10 p.m.
The one-hour documentary
traces how Fats Domino’s brand
of New Orleans rhythm and blues
morphed into rock and roll, ap-
pealing to black and white audi-
ences alike. Actor Clarke Peters
