Fats Waller was an American jazz pianist and entertainer.

After playing rent parties and clubs in his late teens, Fats Waller began recording for Victor Records (later RCA Victor) in 1926. His early compositions, "Ain't Misbehavin'" and "Honeysuckle Rose," became standards. Both songs were inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1984 and 1999 respectively.
