i hear it was socially taboo to have sex with women of color back then so i can see why he'd deny it.
slave owners denied it too
I deny it too ...
(and then I do it anyway !)
send Beyonce over ....
This is one of her last concerts. The tone of her voice and the range she can hit, the lows as well as the highs, she is, without a doubt, one of the best vocal artists ever: Recent: Etta singing "At Last.'
Here she is singing "At Last" in the middle of her career. Check out the introduction by none other than Wolfman Jack. She looks just like Minnesota Fats in this concert, IMO: Etta singing "At Last" in middle of her career.
Here's Etta singing "At Last" at the time it put her on the number-one slot on the charts; Young Etta singing "At Last."
I remember reading that there was a DNA test done & she is NOT related to him...JER
Correct! He was NOT her father, of that I'm sure. Just because they have a similar shaped face does not make him her father. If it did, Fats would have about a million kids! I'm surprised that so many people on here would be so quick to make this assumption based on such frail evidence, a slight physical similarity.
Fats was a lot of things, but a father to ANYONE was not one of them. P.S. He told me once he was shooting blanks, but he loved the "dolls" as he called them.
Might I recommend Big Mama Thornton? Specifically "Guide Me Home".

Big Mama and Ruth Brown were the inspirations for Janis Joplin and that woman can still bring tears to my eyes. I could listen to her sing night and day. She has more passion in her voice than anyone I've ever heard before or since. Thank God these women have been recorded for posterity.
Does anyone know that Louie Roberts could do a great impersonation of Elvis, right down to the voice and movements? I mean better than any of these impersonators out there today. He NAILED Elvis!
She's great. I just listened to a bunch of YouTube clips.
This one is so vintage: Down Home Shakedown.
It is so rare to see videos of these great musicians.
She is the one who originally did "Hound Dog." While Elvis road around in airplanes and limousines, Big Mama because of the color of her skin never got the riches that Elvis did. That is kind of what the movie "Cadillac Records" is about. Big Mama is the one who originally did "Hound Dog." Big Mama singing "Hound Dog."
This is her last concert. Man, she was smoking a cigarette, too. Talk about the blues: "Ball and Chain" by Big Mama.:
