abstract
  • %22Ain't That a Shame%22 is a song written by Fats Domino and Dave Bartholomew. Released by Imperial Records in 1955, the song was a hit for Domino, eventually selling a million copies. It reached #1 on the %22Black Singles%22 chart and #10 on the %22Pop Singles%22 chart. The song is ranked #438 on the Rolling Stone magazine's list of The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.The song gained national fame after being re-recorded by white recording artist Pat Boone. Domino's version soon became more popular, bringing Domino's music to the mass market a half dozen years after his first major recording, %22The Fat Man%22.After %22Ain't That a Shame%22, mainstream artists began covering Domino's songs. Teresa Brewer, for instance, performed the Domino rewrite of a folk song called %22Bo Weevil%22.The Four Seasons version hit #22 on the Billboard charts in 1963.According to legend, Pat Boone suggested the title and lyrics be altered to %22Isn't That A Shame%22 to make it more appealing to a broader audience but was dissuaded by his producers. Despite his suggestion being rejected, Boone had his first Billboard number-one single in 1955. Domino complimented Boone's cover of the song. Boone likes to tell the story about a Fats Domino concert and Domino invited Boone on stage. Domino showed a big gold ring and said %22Pat Boone bought me this ring.%22This was the first song that John Lennon learned to play. He later covered it on Rock 'n' Roll.
