Fats Domino brought the back beat. A New Orleans bluesman his song "Fat Man" an adaption of a song about drug addicts called "Junker Blues"

By 1951 it became the first rock and roll album to sell over a million copies.

Domino defined rock and roll as "It wasn't anything but the same rhythm and blues I'd been playin' down in New Orleans."

Domino and his producer Dave Bartholomew added a second line beat found in pop today...The same second line syncopation you will find in any New Orleans drum line.

Domino's populartity he has 37 top 100 hits helped to usher in civil rights movements. Riots broke out four times at his integrated concerts.....Fats and his band often could not sleep in the same venue they played
