  6. "Tutti Frutti" (#Italian for "all fruits") is a song written by #LittleRichard and #DorothyLaBostrie, recorded in 1955, which was Richard's first major hit. With its energetic #refrain and its hard-driving sound and wild lyrics, it became not only a model for many future Little Richard songs, but also for #rockAndRoll itself. Its refrain is often transcribed as "A-wop-bop-a-loo-mop-a-lop-bam-boom!".

  19. I had no idea Little Richard was so passionate and eloquent outside the realm of music. He could be speaking about the current situation in the US and other nations under thread of religious fascism. We could use him today in our fight against the far-right.

  20. Various Artists, Rip It Up: The Best of Specialty Records, 2021 on Craft

    Craft Recordings release from 2021 – but all the original recordings are from the 1950s (and a few from the 40s).

    Wonderful collection – the Little Richard tracks are likely the most well known, but I love the early Sam Cooke, Percy Mayfield, Lloyd Price, and Jesse & Marvin.

    Tracklist:

    • Lloyd Price– Lawdy Miss Clawdy
    • Little Richard– Long Tall Sally
    • Roy Milton– R.M. Blues
    • Sam Cooke– I’ll Come Running
    • Joe Liggins– Pink Champagne
    • Little Richard– Tutti Frutti
    • Percy Mayfield– Please Send Me Someone To Love
    • Roy Milton– Information Blues
    • Larry Williams – Bony Moronie
    • Little Richard– Lucille
    • Jesse And Marvin– Dream Girl
    • Jimmy Liggins– Drunk
    • Lloyd Price– Ain’t That A Shame
    • Larry Williams – Short Fat Fannie
    • Percy Mayfield– Lost Love (Baby Please)
    • Lloyd Price– Oooh-Oooh-Oooh
    • Roy Milton– Best Wishes
    • Little Richard– Rip It Up

    Released on yellow vinyl via the Craft Recordings site – limited edition of 500 copies.

  22. Casey is actually the more competent of the two, being able to duplicate a stolen scroll, with which they hope to rip off another criminal.

    The movie's silly fun with lots of bikinis and only occasionally decent tunes padding out the film. (#LittleRichard!) We also get #TomServo's fabulous tune "Creepy Girl," sung to the brunette who has the hots for Tommy Kirk. m.youtube.com/watch?v=Tv0S2gzc
