AP Photo, File
This 1956 file photo shows singer, composer and pi-
anist Fats Domino. The amiable rock ‘n’ roll pioneer
whose steady, pounding piano and easy baritone
helped change popular music even as it honored the
grand, good-humored tradition of the Crescent City,
has died. He was 89.
lost three pianos and dozens
of gold and platinum records,
along with other memorabilia.
Many wondered if he
would ever return to the
stage. Scheduled to perform
at the New Orleans Jazz and
Heritage Festival in 2006,
he simply tipped his hat to
thousands of cheering fans.
His friend Haydee Ellis said
then that Domino was “OK,
but he doesn’t feel up to
performing.”
But in May 2007, he was
back, performing at Tipitina’s
music club in New Orleans.
Fans cheered — and some
cried — as Domino played
“I’m Walkin’,” ‘’Ain’t That a
Shame,” ‘’Shake, Rattle and
Roll,” ‘’Blueberry Hill” and a
host of other hits.
That performance was
a highlight during several
rough years. After losing their
home and almost all their
belongings to the floods, his
wife of more than 50 years,
Rosemary, died in April 2008.
Domino moved to the
New Orleans suburb of
Harvey after the storm
but would often visit his
publishing house, an exten-
sion of his old home in the
Lower 9th Ward, inspiring
many with his determination
to stay in the city he loved.
“Fats embodies everything
good about New Orleans,”
his friend David Lind said
in a 2008 interview. “He’s
warm, fun-loving, spiritual,
creative and humble. You
don’t get more New Orleans
than that.”
The son of a violin player,
Antoine Domino Jr. was born
Feb. 26, 1928, to a family that
grew to include nine children.
Antoine and Rosemary
Domino raised eight children
in the same ramshackle
neighborhood where he grew
up, but they did it in style —
in a white mansion, trimmed
in pink, yellow and lavender.
The front double doors
opened into an atrium with
chandeliers hanging from the
ceiling and ivory dominos set
in a white marble floor.
As a youth, he taught
Kristen Renee Fristoe,
26, of Pendleton, put up a
fight when officers arrested
her, according to Pendleton
Police Chief Stuart Roberts.
Police at about 7:45 p.m.
Wednesday responded to
the parking lot of the former
Albertson’s, 1300 S.W.
Court Ave., for two females
who reported they were
assault victims. Roberts
said one claimed Fristoe
punched her in the face
multiple times, breaking
her glasses, and the second
claimed Fristoe grabbed her
by the throat and threw her
to the ground.
Officer Cody Porter
and Cpl. Ryan Lehnert had
enough to arrest Fristoe on
probable cause, Roberts
said, but after they put her
in the back of a police car
she slipped the handcuffs
from behind her back to the
himself
popular
piano
styles — ragtime, blues and
boogie-woogie — after his
cousin left an old upright in
the house. Fats Waller and
Albert Ammons were early
influences.
He quit school at age 14,
and worked days in a factory
while playing and singing in
local juke joints at night. In
1949, Domino was playing at
the Hideaway Club for $3 a
week when he was signed by
Imperial record company.
He recorded his first song,
“The Fat Man,” in the back
of a tiny French Quarter
recording studio.
“They call me the Fat
Man, because I weigh 200
pounds,” he sang. “All the
girls, they love me, ‘cause I
know my way around.”
“Fat Man” sold more than
1 million copies and has been
called the first rock ‘n’ roll
record. That’s not a unique
claim in the music world,
but Domino, with help from
songwriting partner Dave
Bartholomew, shaped the new
genre by providing Imperial
with rhythm and blues hits for
the next five years, including
“Rockin’ Chair” and “You
Done Me Wrong.”
In 1955, he broke into the
white pop charts with “Ain’t
It A Shame” — in which he
sang the lyrics as “ain’t that
a shame.” It was covered
blandly by Pat Boone as
“Ain’t That a Shame” and
rocked out years later under
that title by Cheap Trick and
many others. Domino enjoyed
a parade of successes through
the early 1960s, including “Be
My Guest” and “I’m Ready.”
Another hit, “I’m Walkin,’”
became the debut single for
Ricky Nelson.

The police took her out to
re-secure the cuffs and bind
her feet together, Roberts
said, and Fristoe kicked
Lehnert in the face and spit
on Porter.
Lehnert did not suffer a
serious injury, Roberts said,
and the officers booked
Fristoe into the Umatilla
County Jail, Pendleton.
Circuit court records
show she faces initial charges
of assaulting a public safety
officer for striking Lehnert
and aggravated harassment
for spitting on Porter. Both
charges are class C felonies
in Oregon.
The district attorney’s
office also charged Fristoe
with
misdemeanors
of resisting arrest and
second-degree disorderly
conduct, plus two counts of
fourth-degree assault related
to the two women.

Fats Domino stirred New Orleans flavor into rock ‘n’ roll
NEW ORLEANS (AP) —
In appearance, Fats Domino
wasn’t a typical teen idol. He
stood 5-feet-5 and weighed
more than 200 pounds, with
a wide, boyish smile and a
haircut as flat as an album
cover. But Domino sold more
than 110 million records, with
hits including “Blueberry
Hill,” “Ain’t That a Shame”
and other standards of rock
‘n’ roll.
Domino, the amiable rock
‘n’ roll pioneer whose steady,
pounding piano and easy bari-
tone helped change popular
music even as it honored the
grand, good-humored tradi-
tion of the Crescent City, died
early Tuesday. He was 89.
Mark Bone, chief inves-
tigator with the Jefferson
Parish, Louisiana, coroner’s
office, said Domino died of
natural causes early Tuesday
morning.
His dynamic performance
style and warm vocals drew
crowds for five decades. One
of his show-stopping stunts
was playing the piano while
standing, throwing his body
against it with the beat of the
music and bumping the grand
piano across the stage.
Domino’s 1956 version of
“Blueberry Hill” was selected
for the Library of Congress’
National Recording Registry
of historic sound recordings
worthy of preservation. The
preservation board noted
that Domino insisted on
performing the song despite
his producer’s doubts, adding
that Domino’s “New Orleans
roots are evident in the Creole
inflected cadences that add
richness and depth to the
performance.”
He was one of the first 10
honorees named to the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame and the
Rolling Stone Record Guide
likened him to Benjamin
Franklin, the beloved old man
of a revolutionary movement.
Domino became a global
star but stayed true to his
hometown, where his fate was
initially unknown after Hurri-
cane Katrina struck in August
2005. It turned out that he and
his family were rescued by
boat from his home, where he
