Fats Domino "I'm Walkin" Imperial Gold Record Award (1958)....

Description

Fats Domino "I'm Walkin" Imperial Gold Record Award (1958). In less than two years, Fats recorded five of his biggest, and arguably his best hits, "Ain't It A Shame", "I'm In Love Again", "Blueberry Hill", "Blue Monday", and "I'm Walkin'." His long-time songwriting partner, Dave Bartholomew co-wrote this one, a song great enough to propel two versions (the other by Ricky Nelson) to as high as #4 on the Pop charts in 1957. Fats' version stayed at the top of the R&B charts for six weeks. The flip side was Fat's terrific take on the classic "I'm in the Mood For Love", a song that hit #1 in 1935 for Little Jack Little and #6 in 1946 for Billy Eckstine. "I'm Walkin" is irresistible New Orleans Rock 'n Roll.
