节奏布鲁斯和摇滚之间的桥梁人物

Six years before Bill Haley recorded "Rock Around The Clock,”21-year-old Antoine "“Fats” Domino wrote the blueprint for early rock ‘n’ roll with 1949’s “The FatMan.” From that million-selling debut single, the NewOrleans-born vocalist/pianist would produce more hitsthan any other 1950s-era rocker besides Elvis Presley,including a staggering run of 39 straight singles thatcharted between 1954 and 1962.
比尔·哈雷录制《Rock Around The Clock》之前的六年,21岁的安托万·“肥头鱼”·多米诺于1949年以《The Fat Man》为早期rock’n’ roll奠定了基石。作为新奥尔良出生的歌手兼钢琴家,从那张百万销量的首支单曲开始,他创造了比除了猫王以外的其他1950年代摇滚乐手更多的热门歌曲,其中包括从1954年到1962年连续39首进入排行榜的惊人纪录。

While selling some 65 million records in the decade,Domino was arguably the man most responsible forbridging the gap between R&B and rock—althoughLittle Richard might dispute that claim.What is beyonddebate is the influence of the singer’s 1950s work,which has run and spread through popular music andinfluenced everyone from Pat Boone to The Beatles.
在那个十年里售出大约6500万张唱片的同时,多米诺无疑是将R&B和摇滚之间的鸿沟缩小的最重要人物,尽管小理查德可能对此提出异议。无可争议的是,这位歌手在1950年代的作品对流行音乐产生了巨大影响,并影响了从帕特·布恩到披头士乐队的每一个人。

This ls Fats, the singer’s third full-length album onlmperial, was released at the height of Domino’s careerand remains the most powerful portrait of his artistrythanks to such boogie-woogie beasts as"Blue Monday"and “Honey Chile” and such mournful masterpieces as“So Long"and “Poor, Poor Me.”
《This is Fats》是多米诺在帝国唱片公司发行的第三张完整专辑,也是他事业巅峰时期发行的专辑。这张专辑因其中的布吉-布吉怪兽《Blue Monday》和《Honey Chile》以及悲伤的杰作《So Long》和《Poor, Poor Me》而成为对他艺术才华最有力的肖像。

Triumphant opener “Blueberry Hill” had been a hitfor Glenn Miller in 1940, but despite its characteristiccharm and warmth, the track proved surprisinglydifficult to record.No one could find the sheet musicthat day in the studio and Domino kept forgetting hislines. No complete take was ever recorded and thestudio had to splice the song together out of abortedefforts.The resulting single would top the U.S. R&Bcharts and hit No. 2 on the pop charts-—the highestDomino would ever reach in pop.
《Blueberry Hill》这首开场曲曾在1940年成为格伦·米勒的热门歌曲,但尽管它具有特有的魅力和温暖,这首歌却出人意料地难以录制。那天在录音室里没有人能找到乐谱,而多米诺则一直忘记自己的歌词。从未有完整的录音,录音室不得不将这首歌从多次中断的尝试中拼凑起来。最终发布的单曲登上了美国R&B榜榜首,并在流行音乐榜上排名第二,这是多米诺在流行音乐中取得的最高成就。
