  • Dave Albert „Fat Man“ Williams (* 26. April 1920 in New Orleans; † 13. März 1982) war ein US-amerikanischer Rhythm & Blues- und Jazzmusiker (Piano, Gesang). Dave Williams wurde in der Touro Street im French Quarter von New Orleans geboren; seine Mutter war Organistin der First Free Will Baptist Church. Mit fünf Jahren begann er Piano zu spielen und sammelte erste musikalische Erfahrungen in der Band seiner Cousins. Um 1940 hatte er erste professionelle Auftritte in lokalen Clubs. Nach Kriegsende spielte er bei Freddie Kohlman, dann in der Rhythm-and-Blues-Szene um das Label Imperial Records; seinen Spitznamen „Fat Man“ erhielt er wegen seiner sowohl physischen als auch musikalischen Ähnlichkeit zu Fats Domino.
