Here's a wee tribute to Fats Domino. Many Jamaican artists covered songs that Fats Domino co-wrote or covered himself. His New Orleans styled Rhythm and Blues was very influential on Jamaican Ska. Songs 1-11 are tributes to Fats by Jamaican artists. They are loose interpretations but incorporate some elements of The Fat Man's sound. The rest of the episode is a cool mix of Jamaican RnB. Enjoy!
