New Orleans rock-and-roll pioneer Fats Domino was the most influential guitarist of the genre. He influenced R&B. He sold over 65 million albums and had 11 top-ten singles between 1955 and 1960. He was deemed humble and camera-shy, but his rock is mostly overlooked. Thirty-five songs reached the top 40 billboard charts. Most albums are silver or gold-certified. In 1949, he published “The Fat Man” the first rock and roll album to sell a million copies.
