Fats and Friends

It's the jam session of a lifetime as the three greatest rock'n'roll piano players in the world share a stage for the first and only time

Recorded in 1986 this is a fantastic DVD. Fats Domino, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Ray Charles performing 17 tracks with a back up band led by the Stones' Ron Wood. Fats Domino leads off the DVD with a clutch of his hits, including "The Fat Man" and "Blueberry Hill" in his own inimitable style, this is followed by Jerry Lee performing tracks including of course "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On" and "Great Balls of Fire". Then Ray Charles takes over with "I've Got a Woman" and "Drown In My Own Tears" before all three of them get together to perform four more tracks.
