The great Fats Waller was once playing in a night club in Harlem when another pianist dropped in. Upon noticing the newcomer, Waller stopped playing, stood up and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, I only play the piano, but tonight God is in the house.” It was Art Tatum.

I've been listening to Fats for nearly 35 years, and today is the first time I've actually WATCHED him perform !!! What a treat ! Listening to his piano playing is great; his little editorial asides are outrageous, but to watch him mug his way through a song like "Your Feet's Too Big" is just too much !!! I'm sorry I was not able to see him perform live; would've loved to have know him ! Thanks for posting this !

Yeah, Fats really is one for the ages. He wouldve found acceptance & success in the 21st Century, if it were his time. And NOTHING beats ragtime. Nothing! Joplin, Ellington, Basie, Holliday, Fitzgerald & everyone- - I just never get tired of it I realize 1935 was the Depression & all, but its moments like these that make me think tough times bring out the best in people. So much comedy & entertainment borne of struggle & hard times. It just made people MORE determined to enjoy themselves. That was my g.g.grandparents & my g.grandparents time. But I wouldve loved to have just one night in one of those old black-&-tans like this one, esp with Fats 🎼 🎹 🎺 🎤

My mom used to crack up when they played this song on the radio, probably in the 1940s, long before radio stations confined themselves to "genres." Our little station in a small Wyoming town played everything from country to R & B, jazz, show tunes, old tunes and -- as they say -- much, much more: melodramas, comedy shows, kids shows, baseball games --

Fats’ talent as a pianist is matched only by his songwriting. He certainly was a master performer of his time and it’s such a shame he died, as many performers in that era did, so young.

@Pentagonshark666 The celebrated concert pianist Simon Tedeschi said he considered Fats Waller one of the great pianists of the 20th century. He is never underrated, especially by people who try to play his music. Fats and his great bricklayer hands can achieve more on a piano than most people, and it looks so effortless. I love you feet's too big, but as I have been trying unsuccessfully to play Honeysuckle Rose for years, that's the piece I envy most.

Filmed and originally released in 1941, and shown on "Panoram" film jukeboxes (they looked like a cross between a jukebox and a TV set, only they projected short musical films- "Soundies"- instead of playing records, at 10 cents a song). In the late '40s, Official Films reissued this and other "Soundies" on 16mm for "home movie projectors".
