Additional notes
Album Notes: Collecting pretty much all the Fats Domino hits any casual fan (and even some aficionados) will ever need, this best-of features the Fat Man's inimitable rocking and rolling piano and big, comfortable voice on such New Orleans R&B classics as "Ain't That a Shame," "I'm Walkin'," and "Blueberry Hill," as well as lesser-known yet no less accomplished tracks like "I'm Gonna Be a Wheel Some Day" and "Let the Four Winds Blow." And, of course, no Fats Domino collection would be complete without the classic homeward-bound song, "Walking to New Orleans."

Happy Days Review ofHis Band and the Street Choirby
brownp1
Advantages: good time party music Disadvantages: none
...Back in 1971 Van Morrisson was a commercial force to be reckoned with following the success of both Astral Weeks and Moondance. He followed it up with this excellent album building on the success of Moondance but adding more horns and feeling to produce his unique vision of celtic soul music.
He manages to blend US Soul (Domino) rock'n'roll (Give me a kiss) and folk music to produce a goodtime album par excellance.
Van Morrisson's voice is excellent swooping to the highs and lows with an outstanding purity of sound,ably supported by his band, who are incredibly tight, and the street choir to add soul.
party on...

Advantages: More than I can count Disadvantages: Not even one
...penned by Paul. Great guitar and snare. Fun!
Movie Magg
Carl Perkins song. Based on a true story, it involves Carl and his girlfriend going to the cinema on a mule. A real up beat, horse gallop of a song.
Brown Eyed Handsome Man
This was the single from this album. B-side was no other baby. This is Cajun/line dancing type stuff. Stick your thumbs in your belt loops and dance.
What It Is
Self penned by Paul. A quite heavy rocker. Enjoyable song that fits well as a sixties song written in the 90s.
Coquette
An obscure FatsDomino B side. This song is quite poor, but then again I was never a Fats Fan.
I Got Stung
A British NO 1 hit for Elvis Presley in 1959. A heavy (but good) performance of this classic song.
Honey Hush
I was never too familiar with this song, but again this is a good rock ‘n’ roll song, This is one of Paul...
