Let the Four Winds Blow, 1961

Written by Dave Bartholomew and Fats Domino

I'm not clear why this song has the writing credit it does, because Dave Bartholomew wrote and released it as "Four Winds" in 1955.  But maybe Fats added enough, besides his genial charisma, to get his own credit.  It was a time when songwriting credit didn't necessarily mean that anyone wrote anything.  Anyway, this is a a nice, light New Orleans shuffle that doesn't break any ground not heavily trod by the Fat Man.  It's a little lyrically clichéd ("From the east to the west / I love you the best"), but it has plenty of that Fats charm.
