Release Notes:

Fats Waller was the son of a preacher and learned to play the
organ in church with his mother. In 1918 he won a talent contest
playing James P. Johnson's Carolina Shout which he learned from
watching a pianola play the song. He would later take piano
lessons from Johnson. Fats began his recording career in 1922 and
made a living playing rent parties, as an organist at movie
theatres and as an accompanist for various vaudeville acts. In
1927 he co-wrote a couple of tunes with his old piano teacher
James P. Johnson for his show "Keep Shufflin'". Two years later
Waller wrote the score for the Broadway hit "Hot Chocolates" with
lyrics supplied by his friend Andy Razaf. Fats' most famous song,
"Ain't Misbehavin'" was introduced in this show which featured
Louis Armstrong. Fats Waller's big break occurred at a party given
by George Gershwin in 1934, where he delighted the crowd with his
piano playing and singing. An executive of Victor Records, who was
at the party was so impressed that he arranged for Fats to record
with the company. This arrangement would continue until Waller's
death in 1943. Most of the records he made were released under the
name of Fats Waller and his Rhythm. The group consisted of around
half a dozen musicians who worked with him regularly, including
Zutty Singleton. Throughout the 1930s and early 1940s Fats was a
star of radio and nightclubs, and toured Europe. He unexpectedtly
died on board a train near Kansas City, Missouri of pneumonia in
1943.
