Thomas Wright "Fats" Waller (May 21, 1904 – December 15, 1943) was an American jazz pianist, organist, composer, and singer. His innovations in the Harlem stride style laid much of the basis for modern jazz piano. A widely popular star in the jazz and swing eras, he toured internationally, achieving critical and commercial success in the United States and Europe. His best-known compositions, "Ain't Misbehavin'" and "Honeysuckle Rose", were inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1984 and 1999. More about Fats Waller

Waller copyrighted over 400 songs, many of them co-written with his closest collaborator, Andy Razaf. Razaf described his partner as "the soul of melody... a man who made the piano sing... both big in body and in mind... known for his generosity... a bubbling bundle of joy". It is likely that he composed many more popular songs than he has been credited with: when in financial difficulties he had a habit of selling songs to other writers and performers who claimed them as their own. He died from pneumonia, aged 39.The most expensive item with a signature of Fats Waller (Fats Waller Legendary Jazz Pianist Genuine Hand Signed Autographed Photo) was sold in May 2015 for £260.00 while the cheapest item (KEITH SMITH An Album of LOUIS ARMSTRONG & FATS WALLER Music, Signed HJ107) found a new owner for £0.99 in June 2019.
