FATS DOMINO, the New Orleans rhythm-and-blues singer whose two-fisted boogie-woogie piano and nonchalant vocals, heard on dozens of hits, made him one of the biggest stars of the early rock ’n’ roll era, died on Tuesday at his home in Harvey, La., across the Mississippi River from New Orleans. He was 89.  Fats had more than three dozen Top 40 pop hits through the 1950s and early ’60s, among them “Blueberry Hill,” Ain’t It a Shame” (also known as “Ain’t That a Shame,” which is the actual lyric), “I’m Walkin’,” “Blue Monday” and “Walkin’ to New Orleans.” He reportedly sold more than 65 million records, outselling Little Richard, Chuck Berry and Buddy Holly – combined.  The Guardian esays his impact.
