 ANN ARBOR, Mich., Nov. 7 /PRNewswire/ --    Who:     A pianist, singer and songwriter who was born in New Orleans,            Fats Domino sold more records, 65 million, than any 50s rocker            except Elvis Presley.

They            include "Ain't That a Shame," "Blueberry Hill," "I'm Walkin',"            "Blue Monday" and "Walking to New Orleans." Icons from the world            of rock, blues, reggae, pop and country music have joined            together to salute Domino's genius for the upcoming double CD            set, "Goin' Home: A Tribute to Fats Domino."
