In October 25, 2017, Domino\'s 1956 edition of \"Blueberry Hill\" was selected as the National Recording Registry of historical recordings worth keeping at the Library of Congress.
The preservation committee noted that, despite the doubts expressed by his producers, Domino insisted on performing the song, and that the \"New Orleans roots of Domino\'s\" were evident in the changes in Creole, this adds richness and depth to the performance.
\"Domino became a global star, but he remained loyal to his hometown, and his fate was initially unknown after Hurricane Katrina hit in August 2005.
As a result, he and his family were rescued by boat from home, where he lost three pianos, dozens of gold and platinum records and other souvenirs.
Many people wonder if he will return to the stage.
He plans to perform at the New Orleans jazz and traditional music festival in 2006, and he just pays tribute to thousands of cheering fans.
But in May 2007, he returned to the tipicina music club in New Orleans. Fans cheered --

Fats Waller and Albert Ammons were the early influencing factors.
He dropped out of school at the age of 14, and while playing and singing at the local juke joints in the evening, he worked in a factory for a few days.
When he was signed by Imperial Records in 1949, Domino played at the Hideaway Club for $3 a week.
He recorded his first song, fat man, behind a small French studio.
\"They called me fat because I weighed 200 pounds,\" he said . \"
\"All the girls love me because I know my way.
In 1955, he broke into the white pop charts with \"Isn\'t this a shame ---
But actually the lyrics are sung like this: \"It\'s not a shame.
The song was gently reported by Pat Boone as \"it\'s not a shame\" and was shaken by cheap tricks a few years later.
Dominoes enjoyed a series of successes in early 1960, including \"being my guest\" and \"I\'m ready \".
Another hit single, I\'m walking, became Ricky Nelson\'s first single.
Dominoes appeared in the rock film \"Girl can\'t help\", one of the first black actors to appear in the Pop Music Festival, starring Buddy Holly and the Everley Brothers.
He also helped bridge rock and other styles ---
Even in the country/West, Hank Williams\'s Jambalaya and Bobby Charles\'s go to New Orleans are recorded.
\"Like many of his peers, the popularity of dominoes in the 1960 s has declined with the popularity of British and psychedelic rock.

In 1998, he became the first pure rock musician to receive the National Medal of Art.
But he mentioned his age and did not go to the White House to win a medal from President Clinton.
This is typical.
