I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill
On Blueberry Hill, when I found you
The moon stood still on Blueberry Hill
And lingered until my dreams came true
The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows you made
Were never to be
Though we're apart, you're part of me still
For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill
The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows we made
Were never to be
Though we're apart, you're part of me still
For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill
On Blueberry Hill, when I found you
The moon stood still on Blueberry Hill
And lingered until my dreams came true
The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows you made
Were never to be
Though we're apart, you're part of me still
For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill
The wind in the willow played
Love's sweet melody
But all of those vows we made
Were never to be
Though we're apart, you're part of me still
For you were my thrill on Blueberry Hill

Always think of Richie Cunningham singing this in Happy Days
again rp showing me an og... i thought the og was louis armstrong, but fats not the og either: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
The music for "Blueberry Hill" was composed by Vincent Rose and the lyrics by Larry Stock and Al Lewis.[1] It was recorded six times in 1940... The largest 1940 hit was by the Glenn Miller Orchestra, which reached #2 on the US charts...
Louis Armstrong's 1949 recording charted in the Billboard Top 40, reaching number 29.
Fats Domino version was an international hit in 1956 and has become a rock and roll standard. It reached number two for three weeks on the Billboard Top 40 charts, becoming his biggest pop hit, and spent eight non-consecutive weeks at number one on the R&B Best Sellers chart"
This song will always remind me of Ritchie C.

Highly unusual in showbiz/music industry.
I had no idea Fats lived until 2017... good for him!

If this song doesn't make you think of the awesomeness of the early days of Rock n Roll, and the awesomeness of NOLA, well then there just isn't anything left to do for ya'.
Why did I have this at a 7? Upped to a 9.

This song always reminds me of this story -
A high school teacher was calling roll when a student showed up late. “Where were you?” the teacher asked. “On top of Blueberry Hill,” he replied. A few minutes later, another young man dashed in, replying that he was also “on top of Blueberry Hill.” After the third student rushed in, with the same reason for his tardiness, a young woman came in and said, “Hi, I’m Blueberry Hill.”

Well the discussion amongst us has begun! His actual last name WAS Domino, and his nickname, according to Wiki:
In 1947, Billy Diamond, a New Orleans bandleader, accepted an invitation to hear the young pianist perform at a backyard barbecue. Domino played well enough that Diamond asked him to join his band, the Solid Senders, at the Hideaway Club in New Orleans, where he would earn $3 a week playing the piano.[10] Diamond nicknamed him "Fats", because Domino reminded him of the renowned pianists Fats Waller and Fats Pichon, but also because of his large appetite.[18][3]
So easy enough! Long Live RP!! And RIP to Fats, who died with little mention, on October 24th, 2017....

Food for thought - Fats Domino was neither fat nor a domino. Discuss among yourselves.
wasn't a domino by who's standard? some would say that Fats was extremely dominesque especially for a non-fat guy...

Well, if this is not close to American r & b blues perfection, I don't know what is.
Holy Crap, BillG! Thank you SO much for playing this one!! Instant 10 for me based on nostalgia purposes. And maybe part of why I like "older" music and all thanks to a mix-tape my mom made for me way back when when I was a youngin. So many great tunes that were "oldies" when I grew up and now seem to be lost, at least from the 'airwaves' - so THANKS AGAIN for spinning this disk!! Long Live RP!!

Just good simple music - thanks Bill.The Fat Man definitely does rock. I saw him on a bill with Bo Diddley at the defunct Circle Star Theater in San Carlos, CA. His show was fantastic while Bo was pretty much incoherent. I was most impressed.
a classic without a doubt, but... ehhh.
