Louisiana-based musician Dave Bartholomew was a pioneer of the New Orleans sound. As a bandleader, songwriter and trumpeter, Bartholomew was the top man to partner Antoine “Fats” Domino and his award-winning sound.
Bartholomew discovered Domino in 1949 and signed him to Imperial Records. The two music icons worked together for nearly 14 years, writing more than 40 hits. A few of their songs were “Ain’t That a Shame,” “The Fat Man” and “I’m Walkin’.”
