This is the first ever biography of New Orleans rock ''n'' roll
legend, Fats Domino by a writer who obtained exclusive access to
the reclusive singer. Rock ''n'' roll defined the last half of the
twentieth century, and while many think of Elvis Presley as the
genre''s driving force, the truth is that Fats Domino, whose records
have sold more than 100 million copies, was the first to put it on
the map with such hits as "Ain''t That a Shame" and "Blueberry
Hill". In "Blue Monday", acclaimed RB scholar Rick Coleman
draws on a multitude of new interviews with Fats Domino and many
other early musical legends, including Lloyd Price, Charles Brown
of "The Clovers", and members of Buddy Holly''s group, "The
Crickets", to create a definitive biography of not just an
extraordinary man but also a unique time and place - New Orleans at
the birth of rock ''n'' roll. Coleman''s groundbreaking research makes
for an immense cultural biography, the first to thoroughly explore
the black roots of rock ''n'' roll and its impact on civil rights in
America. A true music lovers'' biography, "Blue Monday" includes new
revelations about the politics behind the music labels of the 1930s
and 40s, and provides a searing indictment of the great white myths
of rock ''n'' roll. Coleman also brings the African-American culture
of New Orleans to life, and his narrative is passionate,
compassionate and authoritative. "Blue Monday" is the first
biography to convey the full scope of Fats Domino''s impact on the
popular music of the twentieth century.
