In memory of Fats Domino

In memory of Fats Domino, who passed away yesterday at 89, here are five of his best songs, in my opinion:

• Blueberry Hill (If you watched "Happy Days" for any length of time, you heard this.  It contains one of the most memorable piano intros and one of the most memorable hooks of any '50s recording.  It's not surprising this was Domino's biggest hit.)
• I'm Walkin' (Another Domino hit that some listeners might have encountered through "Happy Days."  It's possibly his catchiest uptempo hit, with a hook that grabs the listener right from the beginning.)
• It Keeps Rainin' (I don't hear this played anywhere today, but it conveys universal sentiments about the sadness of romantic rejection effectively.)
• Jingle Bells (The song isn't one of my favorite Christmas tunes, but Domino recorded one of the best renditions.  He rocks the rhythm on the piano and vocals, giving the tune a boogie woogie feel.)
• Walking To New Orleans (Possibly Domino's best song.  Other artists sing about climbing the highest mountain or swimming the deepest ocean, and you know they're only speaking metaphorically.  Domino sings this so convincingly, it's easy to believe he's actually heading to New Orleans on foot.)
