Fats Domino - Blue Monday [1957]

Good Mid-Monday Afternoon my RP Brothers and Sisters!!!

Back in the day, going back to the late 1950s there was an awesome singer by the Name of "Fats" Domino and we could not get enough of his New Orleans style of Music.... This afternoon's Music Interlude includes one of the song's He made famous in his era and the song, appropriately, is titled "Blue Monday"! From time to time I will share one or more of his songs from an era long gone by...! Fats Domino was a legend, but like all legends, his time came and has gone...

Here is a short backgrounder:
Antoine Domino Jr. was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, the youngest of eight children born to Antoine Caliste Domino (1879–1964) and Marie-Donatille Gros (1886–1971). The Domino family was of French Creole background, and Louisiana Creole was his first language.

Antoine "Fats" Domino Jr. (February 26, 1928 – October 24, 2017) was an American pianist and singer-songwriter. One of the pioneers of rock and roll music, Domino sold more than 65 million records. Between 1955 and 1960, he had eleven Top 10 hits. His humility and shyness may be one reason his contribution to the genre has been overlooked.

During his career, Domino had 35 records in the U.S. Billboard Top 40, and five of his pre-1955 records sold more than a million copies, being certified gold. His musical style was based on traditional rhythm and blues, accompanied by saxophones, bass, piano, electric guitar, and drums.

His 1949 release "The Fat Man" is widely regarded as the first million-selling rock and roll record. His two most famous songs are "Ain't That A Shame" and "Blueberry Hill".

Lyrics:

Blue Monday, how I hate blue Monday
Got me workin' like a dog all day
Here comes Tuesday, oh hard Tuesday
I'm so tired, I've got no time to play

Look out Wednesday I'm beat to my bone
My girl calls, I gotta tell her I'm not home
She knows Thursday is a hard workin day
Til Friday I get paid

Oh Saturday morning, Saturday morning
All my tired has gone away
Got my money and my honey
And we're out on the town to play

Sunday morning my head is bad
But it's worth it, all the times I had
But I've still got to get my rest
For Monday is a mess Saturday morning,
Oh Saturday morning

All my tired has gone away
Me and my honey, we got some money
And were out on the town play
Sunday morning my head is bad
But it's worth all the times I had
But I've got to go and get some rest
For Monday is a mess!
