Ain't that a shame.

Wow, I had no idea he was still alive ( well up until very recently). Huge figure ( literally and metaphorically) in rock and roll even if maybe not someone whose fame lingers on as much as Elvis or Chuck. RIP.

Just heard and obviously sad. But I have to admit that I assumed he was already dead from say years ago. You just assume all such old school legends had gone.

a pioneer and influence to many so thanks for everything Fats. RIP

Likewise, thought he'd gone a long time ago.
But "Ain't That A Shame" for some daft reason was a record I played loads and loads when I first went to Uni -- and I'd forgotten that till today.
That was a nice time.  And a good song.

Not many of the original pioneers left now, sadly - Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis are still with us, but I can't think of any more.

I think Chubby Checker's still alive, but I could be wrong.

what a track - heard it again today on the radio - this is effectively swing/boogie pre Elvis from 1956 -
