He started attracting a crowd to the Hideaway Club on Desire Street in the 9th Ward. Visionary producer, songwriter, trumpeter and Imperial Records talent scout Dave Bartholomew “discovered” Domino there. 

Working at Cosimo Matassa's recording studios in and near the French Quarter, Domino and Bartholmew created a body of work unlike any other in the annals of New Orleans music. Together, they established New Orleans as a hotbed of rhythm & blues and early rock 'n' roll. 

By the late 1960s, after the Beatles -- who were avowed Domino fans -- and other British Invasion bands changed the face of popular music, the hits were harder to come by. However, Domino continued to perform and tour. 

But he eventually grew weary of the road. His last tour was a rocky 1995 European jaunt plagued by illness. For the next decade, he rarely strayed outside Orleans Parish, save for the occasional gig at a Mississippi Gulf Coast casino. He limited his hometown appearances to an occasional set at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival, or private functions.

He eventually bought a handsome stucco house in a gated community in Harvey, where he lived quietly. Shy by nature, he was often anxious before performances. That performance anxiety only grew more acute in his later years.
