Fats Waller Biography
By John Farrell 

Quite rightly Roger Waring recommended Maurice Waller and Anthony
Calabrese's excellent book FATS WALLER to MMDers. May I draw attention
to other biographies of this remarkable entertainer:

STRIDE: THE MUSIC OF FATS WALLER by Paul S. Machlin

FATS WALLER - HIS LIFE AND TIMES by Alyn Shipton

But without doubt the definitive story of Fats is FATS IN FACT by Laurie
Wright.

To save MMD space I have deliberately omitted other details of these
publications, but if any MMDer would like to know more about them
please email me privately and I shall be happy to oblige.
