That Certain Someone
Fats Domino Lyrics

That Certain Someone

I been searchin'
I been searchin' for that someone
That certain someone to call my own
Now the dream of a life time has come true
That certain someone
And a dream came true with you
They were times
When I thought I'd found the real love

So many times my dream tell of all
Now at last I have found that certain someone
That certain someone to live within my heart

I been searchin'
I been searchin' for that someone
That certain someone to call my own
But the dream of a life time has come true
That certain someone
And a dream came true with you

Domino is also a pianist with an individualistic bluesy style showing stride and boogie-woogie influences.

In 1986, he was among the first batch to get inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. "Ain't That A Shame" and "Blueberry Hill" were named part of The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame's 500 Songs That Shaped Rock & Roll. In 2004, "Blueberry Hill" was named #81 and "Ain't That A Shame" was named #431 on Rolling Stone's Top 500 Songs Of All Time. In 2004, he was named #25 on Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Artists Of All Time.

In the wake of Domino's rescue from his 9th ward home during 2005's Hurricane Katrina, the Tipitina's Foundation organized a tribute album to the elder artist featuring Robert Plant, Norah Jones, Paul McCartney and numerous other acts that owe a creative debt to this seminal rock n roll pianist.
