The greatest.

Whenever someone suggested to Elvis that he’d created rock ‘n’ roll, Elvis would always say that Fats deserved the credit.

A policeman knew my name
He said you can go sleep at home tonight
If you can get up and walk away"

I'm happy he had a long full life with a nice big family around him.

Doesn't seem like a lot of rockers end that well.

RIP

My favorite song of his, out of many favorite songs. This guy is, IMO, not appreciated as much as he should be.

"Blue Monday how I hate Blue Monday
Got to work like a slave all day
Here come Tuesday, oh hard Tuesday
I'm so tired got no time to play

Here come Wednesday, I'm beat to my socks
My gal calls, got to tell her that I'm out
'Cause Thursday is a hard workin' day
And Friday I get my pay

Saturday mornin', oh Saturday mornin'
All my tiredness has gone away
Got my money and my honey
And I'm out on the stand to play

Sunday mornin' my head is bad
But it's worth it for the time that I had
But I've got to get my rest
'Cause Monday is a mess."
