Notes
This two CD-compilation features many of the songs that Fats wrote or brought to fame. A singer who could add personality to even he most limpid of songs, he was a superb pianist who influenced many keyboardists in a line extending from Count Basie through to Thelonious Monk. A consummate entertainer he was well-loved. Enjoy this compilation including “Ain’t Misbehavin’”, “I Got Rhythm”, “Honeysuckle Rose” and many more!
