JSngry Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 OK, so we are missing: Fats Domino and Irma Thomas? and we have Allen Toussaint holed up in the Superdome? !!! ← To put it mildly... "Let The Four Winds Blow" is a better song than it is a hurricane survival strategy... Anybody heard from Zig? Or the Indians? This, to put it mildly (again), sucks.

Hardbopjazz Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 Not that he's more important then anyone else. Fats Domino Is Missing in New Orleans By JAKE COYLE, AP Entertainment Writer 15 minutes ago NEW YORK - Fats Domino was missing Thursday, days after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, said his longtime agent, Al Embry. ADVERTISEMENT Embry told The Associated Press that he hadn't been able to contact Domino since talking to him Sunday evening by phone. The 77-year-old R&B legend, whose real name is Antoine Domino, told Embry that he planned to stay at his New Orleans house with his wife, Rosemary, and their daughter. "I hope somebody turns him up, but as of right now, we haven't got anybody that knows where he's at," said Embry, who has worked with Domino for 28 years. "I would think he might be safe because somebody said he was on top of the balcony." Checquoline Davis, Domino's niece, posted a message on Craigslist.com Thursday pleading for information. Davis wrote that Domino, his wife, their children and grandchildren "didn't get out" of the second floor. Domino, who has rarely appeared in public in recent years, has a home in the 9th ward, a low-lying area of the flooded city. Getting information on possible missing persons has been nearly impossible as phone lines for hospitals and police haven't been working. Domino has sold more than 110 million records in his long career, including the legendary singles "Blueberry Hill" and "Ain't That a Shame." His 1950 recording of "The Fat Man" is sometimes called the first real rock 'n' roll record. He was among the first honorees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Soul Stream Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 They mentioned this on Nightline last night. A musicologist in NO said Fats had a "Graceland"-type think happening in the 9th ward. I get the feeling his people wouldn't have let him not survive. I think he'll turn up. Probably just stuck in the inner city that the government seems not to be caring about except for the looting situation (sorry, that was a zing I couldn't help).
