We’re closing out 2020 by playing Fats Domino’s Poor Me. It’ll be a Fats day all day long and into the evening. We’re skipping the $500,000 New Year’s eve blowout that Mayor Latoya Cantrell is throwing in the French Quarter. Doesn’t seem prudent.
Poor Me hit number one on the R&B charts on this day back in 1955.
