September 17, 1957- The Herald Journal Newspaper entertainment section headline reads Fats Domino "Brings Down The House". In what we would categorize as one of Syracuse all-time historic live stage shows Fats Domino, wowed the large crowd of 6.000+ in the War Memorial last night. The Star of the "Biggest Show of 1957": sponsored by Super Attractions, delighted his listeners with his lively tunes and atoned for his failure to appear for a performance here April 11, 1957 by swinging through a generous offering of tunes, while police and ushers ordered the aisle dancers back into their seats.
Fats playing keyboards sang "I'm in Love Again", "Blueberry Hill", "When My Dreamboat Comes Home", "Blue Monday" delighting all. The audience applauded every number on the three-hour show. Also appearing were the youthful Frankie Lymon (ABC's of Love, I Want You to Be My Girl, Out of the Cold and Goodie, Goodie) and blues singer Lavern Baker (Jim Dandy, Tweedly Dee, Humpty Dumpty Heart).
The very popular Everly Brothers (Wake Up Little Suzie, Bye, Bye Love, Should We Tell Him) and Canadian heartthrob Paul Anka (Diana, Gumdrop).
Also performing The Drifters, The Crickets w/ Buddy Holly (That'll Be The Day, Peggy Sue), Bobby Parker, The Spaniels, The Bobbettes (Mr. Lee), Clyde McPhatter, Chuck Berry (School Days), Johnny & Joe (Over the Mountain), Tommy Brown (Crying), Bobby Parker and Harold Cromer- mc
The show started at 8:30 pm, Tickets were priced at $3.50, $3.00, $2.50, $2.00, $1.50
The performers stayed the night in Syracuse (including Buddy Holly Rm 963 ) at the Hotel Onondaga. They left the next day for a show in Rochester, NY
The Syracuse show was reviewed by Peg Cram on Tuesday September 17, 1957.
Note- This was Buddy Holly's only Syracuse performance.
