fats domino - blueberry hill


Vincent Rose, Al Lewis and Larry Stock’s 1940 standard about making out in the country had already been recorded by the likes of Gene Krupa, Glenn Miller, Gene Autry and Louis Armstrong by the time avuncular New Orleans pianist/vocalist Antoine Dominique Domino transformed it into rock’s first multi-million-selling easy listening ballad.
