Dave Bartholomew, the New Orleans musician, Fats Domino<\/a> collaborator and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee who co-wrote the R&B classic \u201cAin\u2019t That a Shame,\u201d has died at the age of 100.<\/p>\n

Bartholomew died Sunday at a New Orleans-area hospital, his son Dave Bartholomew Jr. confirmed to the Associated Press<\/em><\/a>. \u201cHis body simply broke down. Daddy was 100 years and six months old. It was just that time,\u201d Bartholomew Jr. said.<\/p>\n

A trumpeter, bandleader, producer and arranger who worked with artists like Domino, Lloyd Price, Smiley Lewis and Shirley & Lee, the Louisiana-born Bartholomew had a lasting impact on both the music of New Orleans and R&B of the Fifties, which in turn inspired the rock music that emerged in the early Sixties.<\/p>\n

His 14-year partnership with Domino, which began in 1949 when the two co-wrote and recorded Domino\u2019s career-launching hit \u201cThe Fat Man,\u201d yielded R&B gems like \u201cI\u2019m in Love Again,\u201d \u201cI\u2019m Walkin\u2019,\u201d \u201cValley of Tears,\u201d \u201cMy Girl Josephine,\u201d \u201cWhole Lotta Loving\u201d and the classic \u201cAin\u2019t That a Shame,\u201d which would later be covered by artists like Cheap Trick, John Lennon, Paul McCartney and more.<\/p>\n
