"Thomas 'Fats' Waller is one of the more important of the modern pianist-composers. Born in New York on May 21, 1904, the son of a minister, 'Fats' played the organ and sang in the choir of the Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem, where his father preached until he was fifteen years old. Shortly after, the lure of the stage beckoned him to the interesting field of the Harlem cabaret, and he remained in that gay section of the city until 1924, occasionally doubling as a theatre organist and as a piano-roll artist for the Q-R-S Company." - page 1.
