Another great one gone but songs will keep people remembering him. Rest in peace
Like Fats, I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill!
What an incredibly talented man.
God bless his soul
I went to Beaver Run with his grandson
He actually sang songs where you could understand the words and he didn't sing about killing, beating up "bitches" busting cap on "pigs", being in the "system", (did I mention beating up "bitches"??), moving "weight", or any of the glorious endeavors admired so much in the black culture.
Different role models and different results.
Surprised?
Carry a gun.
My mom who has passed met him one time in Exmore VA she said he was very nice. Rest in peace Fats.
