    Not quite my generation, but he was definitely one of the greats and he cleared the way for future generations of pop music.

    RIP

    Dave Bartholomew, Cosimo Matassa, Harold Battiste, Allen Toussaint and now Fats. The New Orleans pioneers are having their lights dimmed. Somebody please keep a watch out for Dr. John.

    Chuck Berry, improbably, made it to 90.

    Mmmmmm... Either him or Chuck Berry.

    I'm going with Chuck. Chuck Berry had one of the realest quotes ever about Elvis:

    "Blacks didn't have the airwaves Elvis had. He delivered what he obtained, beautifully.

    Difference between Elvis and Beatles, Beatles said they were playing what was then called "Negro music". Elvis, and Beach Boys, acted like they invented it.

    Chuck Berry stole his material from Marty McFly.

    I timed my wedding for the middle of a 3-day outdoor oldies Woodstock in 1990. We watched some famous acts in the afternoon of the 2nd day, got married, and returned for the evening act, Fats Domino. He smiled in his white suit, hammering the keyboard.
