Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Thomas Wright "Fats" Waller (May 21, 1904 – December 15, 1943) was an African-American jazz musician and singer.A Harlem native, Waller started playing piano at the age of six, and later began recording for Victor Records in 1926. Over the next twenty years, he recorded numerous jazz records and composed songs for a few musicals. His work includes compositions such as "Honeysuckle Rose" and "Jitterbug Waltz", along with covers of pre-existing songs such as "After You've Gone," "Go Down Moses" and "Viper Drag."Sadly, his career was cut short in 1943, when he passed away from pneumonia while traveling cross-country via train.He also appeared in the films King Of Burlesque, Hooray For Love, and Stormy Weather.His great-grandson, Darren (born 1992), is a National Football League player. | |

Big Fun: Waller exuded this image of a performer who is big, fat and entertaining and fun to be around, so much so that his stage name "Fats" was based on it. | |

Cigar Chomper: Downplayed. Waller was sometimes shown with a cigar in his mouth, such as in the image shown here, but more often he didn't have one. | |
