Update: Hurricane Katrina and the oldies legends of New Orleans

New Orleans rock legend Antoine "Fats" Domino, missing and feared dead during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, was found Monday when daughter Karen Domino White identified him from this photo in the city's Times-Picayune newspaper. Domino, whose famous brown-and-yellow house is located in the devastated Lower Ninth Ward section of the city, was eventually located in Baton Rouge at the apartment of JaMarcus Russell, a family friend and quarterback for LSU. His family is fine, but the singer remarked that he lost all his possessions in the storm.

Local songwriting/producing legend Allen Toussaint was rumored to be one of the 20,000 evacuees sheltered in the Louisiana Superdome; true or not, he has since made it out of the city and to safe shelter in New York City. Soul legend Irma Thomas was also reported to have evacuated shortly before the storm and is now living temporarily in Baton Rouge. Former Box Tops singer Alex Chilton, a longtime resident of the city, also evacuated safely. Other New Orleans-based rock musicians of the "oldies" era who are now verified safe outside the city include: Dave Bartholomew, Eddie Bo, Henry Butler,Susan Cowsill (Cowsills), The Dixie Cups, Dr. John, Snooks Eaglin, Frankie Ford, Pete Fountain, Jean Knight. Reports have surfaced that The Dixie Cups have lost all their possessions and that Eddie Bo's family is homeless. Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown made it through the storm but succumbed to his long battle with cancer.
