I loved the way he kinda edged the Beatles out of their psychedelic phase back into stripped-down rock and roll.
Paul McCartney said his "Lady Madonna" was inspired by Fats' "Bad Penny Blues"
and watching him sitting at the piano looking so natural was always a treat.

Ironically, Fats Domino would later do a cover version of the Beatles' song which was patterned after his style...
