Description
A GREAT ROCKING R&B LONDON 78 FROM FATS DOMINO - THE BIG BEAT
Fats was the top-selling male R&B artist of the 50s, during which Chuck Berry placed 16 songs on the R&B charts and Little Richard placed 18. Fats' total was 46 (27 of which also made the Pop charts. Add to that 6 Pop hits that didn't make the R&B charts! (Even Elvis “only” had 38 tunes on the Pop charts in the 50s.) In a way, Fats was the Nat “King” Cole of 50s R&B; he just sang, without gimmicks, and made it sound easy. There was nothing threatening about his appearance or his music; adults accepted him almost as easily as their kids.
THE BIG BEAT, issued in December, was also performed by Fats in the 1958 film of the same name. It rose to #15 (#26 Pop). Its flip, I WANT YOU TO KNOW, made it to #32 Pop. In the UK THE BIG BEAT made it into the top 20 (at 20) and stayed in the charts for 6 weeks.
