Fats Domino is a Louisiana music legend.  He recorded and released "Mardi Gras in New Orleans" in 1953.  What is really interesting is that this song was on the "B" side of the record.  The "A" side of this record was "Going to the River" which topped the charts at #24 on the US Top 100 and #2 US R&B Chart.

For all you that are reading this, a record is that black vinyl plastic disc. LOL Just kidding.  When was the last time you heard this song?

It's Mardi Gras time and this song always brings back memories of Mardi Gras of the past.  Check it out!
