NEW YORK — Fats Domino was missing Thursday, days after Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, said his longtime agent, Al Embry.

Embry told The Associated Press that he hadn't been able to contact Domino since talking to him Sunday evening by phone.

The 77-year-old R&B legend, whose real name is Antoine Domino, told Embry that he planned to stay at his New Orleans house with his wife, Rosemary, and their daughter.

"I hope somebody turns him up, but as of right now, we haven't got anybody that knows where he's at," said Embry, who has worked with Domino for 28 years. "I would think he might be safe because somebody said he was on top of the balcony."

1. Also missing:

Irma Thomas
Antoinette K-Doe (Ernie's widow)
various Nevilles

Allen Toussaint is at the Dome. Allen Toussaint who I used to see tooling around NO in his gold Rolls Royce.

I lived in NO in the 80s and was quite active in and on the music scene. This is breaking my heart. I listened to Volume 2 of Rhino's New Orleans classics this morning on my way to work. Had to turn it off at Irma's "It's Raining", or start weeping openly.
