In the summer of 1955, “Ain’t It a Shame” became Domino’s first pop smash, after a string of R&B hits in the early 1950s. Pat Boone‘s white-bread cover (retitled “Ain’t That a Shame”) reached Number One, but as Jerry Wexler put it, “Fats Domino is still the thing. Who cares about what’s his name with the white buck shoes?”
