Fats Domino, one of the most influential rock and roll performers of the 1950s and 60s, has died aged 89.<\/p>\n
The American rock and roll artist was best known for his songs Ain’t That A Shame and Blueberry Hill.<\/p>\n
The New Orleans singer sold more than 65 million records, outselling every 1950s rock and roll act except Elvis Presley.<\/p>\n
His million-selling debut single, The Fat Man, is credited by some as the first ever rock and roll record.<\/p>\n
An official from New Orleans coroner’s office confirmed the death, which was earlier announced by Domino’s daughter to a local television station.<\/p>\n
