Domino tribute in New Orleans

Fats Domino, whose New Orleans home was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, will be presented with copies of 20 of his sales awards during a ceremony Monday in the city’s French Quarter, paying tribute to his success in the 1950s and ‘60s with such hits as “Blueberry Hill” and “Ain’t That a Shame.”

The reproductions will be presented by record label Capitol/EMI, which, not coincidentally, will be releasing on Tuesday a new Domino CD, “Greatest Hits: Walking to New Orleans.” And due Sept. 25 is “Goin’ Home: A Tribute to Fats Domino,” a tribute album featuring covers of his songs by Paul McCartney, Norah Jones, Neil Young, Elton John, B.B. King, Bonnie Raitt and others.
