Little Richard is one of the founding fathers of rock music. He was born Richard Wayne Penniman in Macon, Georgia in 1932 and died in 2020.
He had a string of early rock hits, including "Lucille", "Long Tall Sally", "Good Golly Miss Molly" and a few others.
Little Richard's influence was broad and universal. One of his biggest fans was 15-year old Paul McCartney in Liverpool. Paul learned Little Richard's songs and played them with hometown pals John Lennon and George Harrison. Years later, The Beatles released "Long Tall Sally" in their second US album.
Little Richard recorded "Tutti Frutti" on September 14, 1955 or many years ago. It became one of the all-time greatest dance hits. I don't know about you but it makes me want to dance.
And the rest is history, rock history that is! You can get the song in this LP: Click!
