Recording Academy™ Trustees Award recipient Dave Bartholomew was a multitalented bandleader, composer, arranger, and record producer. A rock and roll pioneer, Bartholomew's innovative approach to his craft helped define the New Orleans sound and establish the metropolis as one of our nation's great music cities. He achieved profound success from his partnership with fellow New Orleans-native Fats Domino, producing and co-writing several chart-topping hits, including "Ain't That A Shame," "I'm Walkin'," and "Let The Four Winds Blow." Bartholomew's impactful contributions to the field of recording were recognized by the Recording Academy when he was selected as a Trustees Award recipient in 2012. He has eternally influenced rock and roll music, and his legacy will continue to inspire generations of musicians for years to come.
