Kaitlin from Cornwall, OntThat guy on Happy Days used to sing this all the time! I can't think of his name right now tho.I think it's time for her to get recognized for her work! She didn't have the money in those days to sue. Well she never was paid and the credit didn't go to her as you can see. Back in those days they would ask for people to write the lyrics to songs and they would pay you for it. They were written by my mom's aunt Elma Kirso of IL., who now is deceased. Shelly Binkley from Grants Pass, OrActually the song lyrics WERE NOT written by whom you stated.Dawn from Wco, Txi get a thrill from listening to Blueberry Hill!!.The first time I'd ever heard one of these two, I don't remember which one it was they sound so much alike! Andrew from Birmingham, United StatesIt's not surprising that this one and "Ain't It a Shame" were both by Fats Domino.
They were written by my mom's aunt Elma Kisro of IL., who now is deceased. Family members in Montreal still hold an original score! Steve Smith U.K. Four servicemen funded a weekend pass in London by Bill selling the song in "Tin Pan Alley" hence he is not credited as the song's author. Steve from Clacton, United KingdomFurther to the debate on authorship of this song, it was written by my friend Tom's cousin Bill of Montreal whilst serving in the Canadian Army based in Devon U.K.They just don't make them like this anymore!

Great! There's a lot of his hits I recall from the 50s & 60s when growing up as a "baby booooooomer." Wasn't the Beatles' song "Lady Madonna" influenced by Fats? Great song by Fats Domino."Since I Met You Baby" by Ivory Joe Hunter was the record that bumped "Blueberry Hill" out of the #1 spot, then Fats returned the favor and his "Blue Monday" replaced Ivory Joe at #1 ("Since I Met You Baby" was #1 for 3 weeks).
