MUSIC URBAN LEGEND<\/span><\/u>: Pat Boone recorded Fats Domino’s “Ain’t That a Shame” but changed the song to the grammatically correct “Isn’t That a Shame.”<\/p>\n

One of the more embarrassing facets of popular music history was the period in time when songs written and\/or first performed by black artists were then re-recorded by white singers for the “white audience.”<\/p>\n

As the white audience was obviously much larger, artists would typically lose out on a good deal of sales (and therefore, royalties) from this practice.<\/p>\n

One such example happened when Fats Domino’s hit “Ain’t That a Shame” was released in 1955.<\/p>\n
