Fats Domino: Eric Paulsen Remembers the legendary rock and roller
WWL-TV wanted to celebrate Fats Domino's life on what would have been his 90th birthday.
Domino died a few months earlier. Eric Paulsen remembered Domino and got a rare look inside of his home, a rare talk about his memories and a rare chance to hear him play - one last time.

Couldn’t imagine life without Rock N Roll, thank you Fats Domino.
That smile when he sings..!
His gentle childlike smile is the best. R.I.P. Fats
When he talks, he sounds just like he sings. We love this man dearly.
I bet his baby pictures are pure gold
What a talented man he was.Unbelieveably humble.Being a Popeyes VIP is hilarious.

Yes my friend
A Humble Man ... much respect.. Love the musik.
all the best 50s rock n rollers have passed way, fats domino, little richard, chuck berry, johny burnette trio, eddie cochran, gene vincent, jerry lee lewis is still with us,
So pure this man was
Loved this interview, interviewer and the man himself. This was alright!
He was an entertainer, an excellent singer, very sweet and shy and just a great friendly guy. When he smiled, everyone else smiled. He had a smile that could light up a room and make the most miserable person smile. He truly is missed.
Well whenever i'm a little bit down I just play a few Fats records and the and the dark thoughts just fly away ... Remarkable man ! Love him since 1956 .

Fats Domino is so wonderful. He's gifted, talented, warm, family-oriented, loves his community....just one of those amazing souls.
What a sweet man
Love Mr. Fats Domino. Fantastic singer and musician.
Eric, we do things in our life that people will talk about long after we're gone. Good job.
Now that’s talent! Fats didn’t go onstage with a set list, he made it up as he went along!

I salute you...? This is one of the stupidest comments i ever seen. SALUTE.. UNBELIEVABLE
You can tell Fats Domino was a good man just by the way he talked i would have been proud to have met him and even prouder to been his friend, R.I.P. Mr. Domino.
i love his music 🎶 a great legend RIP fats 😪🎙📻💔
I think it's awesome that you still remember and honor your good friend like this...crazy how humble and down to Earth he stayed through it all...RIP Fats (PS) Fun fact, once at a press conference a reporter referred to Elvis as the "King of Rock" and he stated "No, that's my friend Domino:
What an amazing artist! Rest in peace Sir!

Thanks for this. Great comment !
I was lucky enough to see Fats' last show...
I was too young to understand but now I'm trying to catch up with you, great man. Thank you for the beautiful work and your gift you shared with us! It's 2023 who is still here with Fats?
Fats thanks for everything you did for music rest in peace!!!!!!!
What an amazing person. RIP Fats 🖤
that was an AWESOME video of Fats, he was such a lovely man, I'll forever miss him ❤
Nel 1994 avevo 24 anni, a nizza in francia, non conoscevo l'importanza del signor Domino. Poi ho capito...lo avvicinai, non sapevo l'inglese, insomma un disastro...ma lui fi affettuoso, sorridente, umile. Cime facevo a capire che era una star? Lo ricordo cosi...In seguito ho incontrato tante star che si credevano chissa chi: nessuno fu cosi UMILE come mr Domino. I love you Antoine. Rip ❤❤
This is so heartwarming. That reporter’s smile was like a kid’s. Fat’s really seemed like a big teddy bear. 🎹🧸🎹
My fav artist of all time . Love the man

He's mine too. Bought "Ain't It A Shame' when it was first released in 1955 and have been his follower all these years. Was in New Orleans a few years ago and didn't realize how admired and loved this grand old 'Rock and Roller' was. RIP Fats.
Fat Domino I love his music it has real soul
What a sweet guy! I love his humility ❤❤❤
I still play his music ❤
Фэтс Домино гениальный музыкант! Лучший рокенрольщик 50-60 годов!)) Его можно слушать целые сутки без остановки!!! Его исполнение вызывает самые глубинные , самые лучшие мысли и чувства!
I sure loved that man! R.I.P Fat's

@9:45 now I understand why Fats and EP were friends. They were both shy humble folks where music happened to be their passion. Fats used to meet up with Elvis in Las Vegas when their schedules allowed. Whats interesting is how EP responded to being the King of Rock and Roll, a title he quickly dismissed. He pointed to this man right here, Fats Domino. RIP Fats and EP thanks for the music.
Yes IAM walking too New Orleans,love you Fats.
Guess what I have in my car disc player!? Yes! It's Fats Domino's Greatest Hits. Been listening and singing along to this man's music for more than 60 years. All of his children have names based on their dear father's name. Heard the first three chords of the song he played in the studio and nailed it "I'm Walkin' to New Orleans". Thank you Antoine for your help in keeping me grounded in music all of these many years 🎶🎶🎶
YES , THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS INTERVIEW. YES , I & A FRIEND HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING HIM WAY BACK IN 1966 IN LONDON WHEN HE FIRST CAME HERE FOR A WEEK AT THE SAVILLE THEATRE. BRIAN EPSTEIN THE BEATLES MANAGER WANTED HIM TO COME TO LODON / U.K. ------ YES , WE MET FATS & MEMBERS OF HIS BAND . ---- GREAT SHOWS !! ----- JOHN U.K. -------- P.S. REALLY NICE MEETING HIM ---
He was a down to earth guy on and off the stage may he rest in peace
That was great. Just passed his house last week when I was at FQF.
I have always Loved His Songs. They always Cheered Me Up.
My older sister Louise loved Fat Donamo, back 55, like it too. Its teenage songs doing growing older young couple things. Its exciting
Beautiful guy, so glad he lived a full long happy life, love him, just sorry I never saw him. I went to NOLA several times but never got to see him perform. ❤
Now, that is nice journalism, thank you... it's honest, sincere and respectful..Well done
I wish the reported would have asked about some stories with Fats and Elvis because Elvis himself said that this man was an inspiration to him. Elvis also called him the true king of Rock and Roll
1st song I learned to play was Blueberry Hill. R.I.P. Family. Stopped by to see you in the 80's. But you weren't home. C.Bean is my cousin. We love you.❤
Fats was born to entertain and make people smile. What a special person he was.
He just makes it look so easy! ... RIP!
MY GRANDMA LOVED FATS SO MUCH.
Would have loved to meet him and talk awhile like that. He seems so humble and down to earth.
I absolutely love his NEW ORLEANS accent. He definitely had some hits
Watching this just made my day too.
Love his music
Fats Domino it doesn't get any better than that bless 🙏✨
Fats was a simple man, he never forgot where he came from. One of the nicest people you could ever imagine meeting in your life.
How I miss the main man,my hero of rock n roll.😢
One of the greatest.
The greatest of all time
Is nog lang doorgegaan met optreden! De trompettist werd grijs!! Applaus!! 😎😎😎😎
It was early 1960's, at the Peppermint Beach Club on Atlantic Avenue, Virginia Beach... I wasn't just there, I was front row 'bout 4' from the end of his keyboard!
He dont even look that old.... dam
Miss Fats, what a legend...
Bonsoir, je le redis, cette fabuleuse et mythique synthèse avec différents courants de jazz de la Nouvelle Orléans et le Boogie Woogie, c'est lui, ANTOINE, et c'est signé pour l'éternité. Merci ANTOINE et repose en paix.
An absolute American Treasure...
I can't believe that Fats didn't think he looked good on TV he was very charismatic!!!
Love that great smile.
He was great! A gentleman...
Seem like he is shy And hes a very nice man
What a wonderful man the stories you can tell you God-bless you fat
My Blueberry Hill man! I love him
A National Treasure !
ROCK AND ROLL FOREVER 50 S
Natural born talent it was in him
The man is ,was quality
Almost ALL of the true American legends are gone... and it is a damn shame. I know I will get some kick back from young folks, but the music being made today doesn't have the same heart... in this old fogies opinion it's all just massed produced garbage being marketed to young people. Thanks to legends like Fats, I still have my records to listen to!
Fun watching
A great singet
EVERYBODY loves Fats Domino!
Eric and fats became good friends
Pay attention all you young kiddos trying to make a living in music, Fats said it himself, He played what the audiemce wanted to hear. Today, bands play what they want to hear, not what the public wants to hear.
His voice is like an instrument
Katrina took a toll on Fats. Bless his Big Lovely heart.
R.I.P. FATS ..
The one that influenced Elvis Presley.
