Rock 'n' roll and rhythm and blues legend Antoine "Fats" Domino has died. He was 89.

With his signature rolling piano sound and longtime producer and collaborator Dave Bartholomew, Domino helped build the foundation for New Orleans R&B and inspired dozens of rock 'n' roll artists, including Elvis Presley and The Beatles, who often publicly credited Domino for his far-reaching, immeasurable influence on pop music.

Born Feb. 27, 1928 as one of nine siblings, Domino learned to play piano by listening to records and with the help of his*brother-in-law Harrison Verrett.?
