Dave Bartholomew, who co-wrote 'Ain't That a Shame' and 'I'm Walkin'' with Fats Domino, has died at age 100.
June 23, 2019
Bartholomew, a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, died Sunday in a suburban New Orleans hospital, his eldest son Dave Bartholomew Jr. told The Associated Press. “Ain’t That A Shame” and “I’m Walkin’” were among Domino’s many top 10 hits, with worldwide sales for Domino eventually surpassing 60 million records. Domino’s boogie-woogie flair and ringing triplets on piano and Bartholomew’s funky, “Big Beat” arrangements, with their second line drum rhythms and chorus of saxophone players, were so distinctive that covers of such pre-rock standards as “Blueberry Hill” and “My Blue Heaven” sounded no less original than the songs by Domino and Bartholomew.
The Bartholomew family’s legacy spans a century, from son Don Bartholomew’s work with Lil Wayne and other hip-hop artists back to Dave Bartholomew’s ties to Louis Armstrong and the birth of jazz.
