Fats Domino Found in New Orleans 
By Gina Serpe 


One of rock 'n' roll's chief architects has been rescued from the 
rubble of
New Orleans. 

Fats Domino, who had been unaccounted for in the wake of Hurricane 
Katrina,
was plucked from the flooded city by a helicopter late Thursday. He 
was
reported to be in good condition. 
An APB went out for the musician and his family earlier in the day. 
The musician's niece, Checquoline Davis, posted a plea on 
Craigslist.com for
information on her missing relatives, writing that Domino and his 
wife,
Rosemary, and their children and grandchildren "didn't get out" of 
their New
Orleans home. Her plea was one of thousands seeking information on 
missing
friends and family on the site. 
The R&B legend had last been heard from on Sunday night, a day 
before the
storm struck. During a phone call with longtime agent Al Embry, the
77-year-old performer insisted he would ride out the hurricane in his
three-story home. 

It is not immediately known if Domino's family made it to safety. 
Domino's house was located in the city's 9th Ward, an area that is 
heavily
flooded and littered with dead bodies. 

The singer and boogie-woogie pianist, born Antoine Domino, has sold 
over 110
million records in his nearly five-decade career highlighted by the 
jukebox
staples "Blueberry Hill" and "Ain't That a Shame." The New Orleans 
music
fixture's 1949 recording of "The Fat Man" is considered by some to 
be the
first rock 'n' roll record, and Domino was among the inaugural group 
of
inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986. 

Another Hall of Famer, singer-songwriter Allen Toussaint, was listed 
among
the missing, although Fox News reported that Toussaint may be among 
the
20,000-plus refugees seeking shelter in the Super Dome.
