Fats Domino

Bobkat Music Trust is the official holder of rights (of record) to "Fats Domino and Friends" (most watched special in Cinemax history, winner of ACE Award for "Cinemax Sessions"), not to mention the award-winning Fats Domino TV commercial for Popeye's Chicken, and is headquartered in the San Francisco East Bay Delta area of California. Note: This list is probably incomplete and not in chronological order.. Since 1995, Vernon and Domino have been partners (with many other companies, such as Dick Clark Productions) in the Bobkat Music Trust, an entertainment group that manages the careers (some posthumous) of Domino, Elvis Presley, Paul Shaffer (keyboardist and occasional guest host on the David Letterman Show), Jerry Lee Lewis, writer Randy Pringle, and many others. Note: This list is probably incomplete and not in chronological order.. During Vernon's tenure, Domino's earnings have increased 500%. Speculation started after Rollo wrote "We set out thinking it would be our last album, feeling maybe we have had our time in the sun". His career has been produced and managed since the 1980s by multimedia entertainment purveyor and music producer Robert G. Vernon. It has been reported that Faithless are to split up after their current tour, which ends on 30 April 2005.

He makes yearly appearances at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival and a few other local events, where he demonstrates that his musicianship and showmanship are undiminished. The album No Roots was released on the same month, which debuted at #1, becoming their highest charting album ever, beating Outrospective (#4), Sunday 8PM (#10) and Reverence (#26). He lives in a mansion in the mostly working-class 9th Ward neighborhood, where he is a familiar sight in his bright pink Cadillac. A new single was released on June 2004, called "Mass Destruction", and debuted at #7 in the UK. In the 1980s Domino decided he would no longer leave New Orleans, as he had a comfortable income from royalties, disliked touring, and claimed he couldn't get any food he liked anywhere but his home town. His induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and an invitation to perform at the White House failed to get Domino to make any exception to this policy. Each of these albums was also rereleased with a bonus disc of remixes and alternative versions under a different name- Irreverence, Saturday 3AM, Reperspective and Everything Will Be Alright Tomorrow respectively. Though he remained active for decades, he only had one more Top 40 hit, a cover of the Beatles song "Lady Madonna", originally written by Lennon/McCartney to emulate Fats's style. Faithless have released four albums of their own work, called Reverence, Sunday 8PM, Outrospective and No Roots.

After he moved to ABC-Paramount in 1963, the bottom fell out of Fats' recording career although he continued as a popular live act. For No Roots, Faithless were joined by LSK. Fats released an unprecedented series of 35 Top 40 singles, including "Whole Lotta Loving", "Blue Monday", and a funky version of the old ballad "Blueberry Hill". The four members of Faithless are Maxi Jazz, Sister Bliss, Jamie Catto and Rollo. Fats finally crossed into the pop mainstream with "Ain't That a Shame" (1955) which hit the Top Ten, though Pat Boone characteristically hit #1 with a cover of the song. Their songs include "God is a DJ", "Reverence" (reaching #10 in the UK), "Insomnia" (reaching #3), "Salva Mea" (reaching #9 as a remix), "We Come 1" (also reaching #3) and "One Step Too Far" (featuring Dido, Rollo's sister, reaching #6). Fats then released a series of hit songs with producer and co-writer Dave Bartholomew, saxophonist Alvin "Red" Tyler and drummer Earl Palmer. Faithless are a UK group of musicians whose music is described by one of their band as a cross between trip-hop and dance.

The record, a reworking of "Junker's Blues" by Champion Jack Dupree, was a massive hit, selling over a million copies and peaking at #2 on the Billboard R&B Charts. Faithless - Woozy, on the album The Beach OST. His career began with "The Fat Man" (1949, Imperial Records), one of the first rock and roll records, featuring a rolling piano and Fats doing wah-wah vocalizing. Faithless - Addictive, on the album Cruel Intentions OST. His congenial personality and rich accent have added to his appeal. Faithless & Robbie Williams - My Culture, on the album One Giant Leap. Domino is also a fine pianist with an individualistic bluesy style showing stride and boogie-woogie influences. Miss You Less See You More - 2004.
