Fats Domino, standing exactly 5ft 4 (162.6 cm), was an influential American pianist and singer-songwriter whose compact stature amplified his larger-than-life persona in rock 'n' roll. Nicknamed 'Fats' for evoking pianists like Fats Waller amid his hearty appetite, his 5ft 4 frame commanded stages with timeless hits like 'Blueberry Hill' and 'Ain't That a Shame', selling over 65 million records and pioneering the New Orleans sound.
