===Recordings after leaving Imperial (1963β1970s)=== [[File:Fats Domino Hamburg 1973 1605730021.jpg|thumb|upright|Domino in 1972 |left]] Domino moved to [[ABC Records|ABC-Paramount Records]] in 1963. The label dictated that he record in [[Nashville, Tennessee]], rather than New Orleans. He was assigned a new producer ([[Felton Jarvis]]) and a new arranger ([[Bill Justis]]). Domino's long-term collaboration with the producer, arranger, and frequent co-writer [[Dave Bartholomew]], who oversaw virtually all of his Imperial hits,<ref name="rockhall"/> was seemingly at an end. Jarvis and Justis changed the Domino sound somewhat, notably by adding the backing of a [[Nashville sound#Countrypolitan|countrypolitan]]-style vocal chorus to most of his new recordings. He released 11 singles for ABC-Paramount, several which hit the Top 100 but just once entering the Top 40 ([[Red Sails in the Sunset (song)|"Red Sails in the Sunset"]], 1963). By the end of 1964 the [[British Invasion]] had changed the tastes of the record-buying public, and Domino's chart run was over.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.allmusic.com/album/fats-is-back-mw0000237013|title=Fats is Back β Fats Domino|last=Erlewine|first=Stephen Thomas|website=AllMusic|access-date=October 26, 2017}}</ref> Despite the lack of chart success, Domino continued to record steadily until about 1970, leaving ABC-Paramount in mid-1965 and recording for [[Mercury Records]], where he delivered a live album ''[[Fats Domino '65]]'' and two singles. A studio album was planned but stalled with just four tracks recorded. Dave Bartholomew's small Broadmoor label (reuniting with Bartholomew along the way), featured many contemporary Soul infused sides and a few single releases but an album was not released overseas until 1971 to fulfill his [[Reprise Records]] contract. He shifted to that label after Broadmoor and had a Top 100 single, a cover of [[the Beatles]]' "[[Lady Madonna]]".<ref name="auto" /> Domino appeared in the [[The Monkees|Monkees]]' television special ''[[33β Revolutions per Monkee]]'' filmed in December 1968 and aired in April 1969. In 1971, he opened for [[Ike & Tina Turner]] at [[Carnegie Hall]].<ref>{{Cite magazine|date=April 17, 1971|title=Ike & Tina Turner, Fats Domino|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3wgEAAAAMBAJ&q=1971+ike+tina+fats+domino+billboard&pg=PA20|magazine=Billboard|pages=20}}</ref> He continued to be popular as a performer for several decades. He made a cameo appearance in Clint Eastwood's movie ''[[Any Which Way You Can]]'', filmed in 1979 and released in 1980, singing the country song "Whiskey Heaven", which later became a minor hit.<ref name="PBStimeline" /><ref>{{cite journal |url=http://www.offbeat.com/articles/seven-decades-of-fats-domino/ |title=Seven Decades Of Fats Domino |first=Rick |last=Coleman |journal=[[OffBeat (music magazine)|OffBeat]] |date=February 1, 1998 |access-date=October 25, 2017}}</ref> His life and career were showcased in Joe Lauro's 2015 documentary ''The Big Beat: Fats Domino and the Birth of Rock 'n' Roll''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/review/big-beat-fats-domino-birth-775626|title='The Big Beat: Fats Domino and the Birth of Rock 'n' Roll': Film Review|work=[[The Hollywood Reporter]]|date=February 20, 2015|access-date=October 26, 2017}}</ref>
