Dave Bartholomew*, one of the architects of rock and roll, passed away at the age of 100 on June 23rd, 2019...
He partnered with Fats Domino on early rock classics including co-writing “Ain’t That a Shame.” The New Orleans trumpeter, band leader, producer, songwriter, and arranger was involved in many iconic songs including “Lawdy Miss Clawdy,” “Blueberry Hill,” “I’m Walking,” and “I Hear You Knocking”...
Bartholomew was band leader for one of New Orleans premier R&B bands when he became an A&R man for Imperial Records. At Imperial, he brought in Fats Domino, working with him on combining R&B with big band, jazz, and country to create early rock and roll. Bartholomew was elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1991...
May he R.I.P.
* Mr. Bartholomew was a co-composer, along with Fats, of "It's You I Love", the pair also composed the record's A-side, "Valley of Tears"...

Love him. Absolutely brilliant. His music makes my heart jump
per oldaeus
The Albert Papa French band, waxed a remake of this item around 1961, for IMPERIAL records. Dave Bartholomew played trumpet. This band cut 3 albums for this label, I guess that Dave was involved, yet, he only played on ditto.
