"I'm Walkin'" is a 1957 song by Fats Domino, written with frequent collaborator Dave Bartholomew. The single was Domino's third release in a row to reach No. 1 on the R&B Best Sellers chart, where it stayed for six weeks. It also broadened the singer's crossover appeal, peaking at No. 4 on the pop singles chart.[1] The prominent saxophone solo was played by Herbert Hardesty. Lee Allen was also on sax, Frank Fields on bass, Earl Palmer on drums, and Walter "Papoose" Nelson on guitar.[2]

In 2019, the 1957 recording by Domino on Imperial Records was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.[3]

Other versions

Later in 1957, American musician Ricky Nelson covered a crossover version of the song on an episode of The Adventures of Ozzie & Harriet; the single was released on Verve Records and reached No. 4 on the pop chart and No. 10 on the R&B chart.[1] Its B-side was "A Teenager's Romance". After several Verve singles, Nelson also recorded for Imperial Records, the same label Domino was on at the time.[4]
