Paul Shaffer tries to direct traffic with three of the best piano players in Rock and Roll history, Ray Charles, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Fats Domnio, with Ron Wood on guitar. I think Steve Jordan is playing the drums. Shaffer certainly had his work cut out for him trying to keep three great piano players jamming at the same time without walking on top of each other! YIKES! Pretty awesome stuff.

Fats Domino
So I am reading a post lamenting how blues historians ignore R&B artists! WTF??? So I am looking through my archive of blues, and there are tons of Blues, R&B, and Soul music on the site. So I suppose the big question is what is blues??? My personal feeling is that R&B, Soul, Swing, Jazz and some Rock and Roll, are part of the blues, because they directly descend from the blues. I do know blues purists out there who start in the delta then work their way up to Memphis, and end up in Chicago, and pretty much skip the rest. However, the music started in the deep south, and then went with African Americans as they migrated North and West. Each area and city developed its own sound, and we end up blessed with the greatest folk/popular music of our time.
Anyway, enough talk! More music! Here is Fats Domino singing Blue Monday from the movie The Girl Can't Help It.
