The definitive biography of the late, rock ‘n’ roll legend, Fats Domino

While many recall to mind Elvis Presley as rock ‘n’ roll’s driving force, in reality that Fats Domino, whose records have sold more than 100 million copies, was once the first to put it on the map with such hits as “Ain’t That a Shame” and “Blueberry Hill.” In Blue Monday, acclaimed R&B scholar Rick Coleman draws on a multitude of new interviews with Fats Domino and plenty of other early musical legends to create a definitive biography of not just an atypical man but also a unique time and place: New Orleans on the birth of rock ‘n’ roll. Coleman’s groundbreaking research makes for an incredible cultural biography, and is the first to convey the full scope of Fats Domino’s have an effect on on the preferred music of the twentieth century.
