While many of the first rock \u2018n roll performers (like Elvis Presley) performed covers of songs written by others, Little Richard was both a performer and a songwriter. One of his most important hits was the song \u201cTutti Frutti\u201d which he co-wrote with Dororthy LeBostrie &#8211; a song that captured a defining moment for rock and roll history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Little Richard was born Richard Wayne Penniman on December 5, 1932 in Macon, Georgia. He was the second of 12 children. His father was a church deacon, in addition to being a brick mason, and nightclub owner. He also sold bootleg moonshine on the side. His family was involved with various Christian denominations throughout his childhood (Baptist, A.M.E. and Pentacostal) and were very active members. His grandfather and two uncles were preachers.\u00a0 The Pentacostal church was especially influential on Penniman\u2019s early years; He was drawn to the charismatic style of the worship and to the music he heard in the services.\u00a0 Despite his active participation in the music of the church, Penniman\u2019s father disapproved of his son\u2019s musical style and suspected homosexuality.\u00a0 He kicked his own son out of the home at age 13.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Penniman then worked the concession stand at Macon City Auditorium where he was exposed to all the musical talent that came to his home town and soon began performing at the local Tic Toc Club. After winning a local talent contest, he was signed to RCA in 1951.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This first break did not result in the great career success that Penniman had envisioned. The mild-mannered rhythm and blues recordings he made were lovely performances but they did not reveal the vibrant showmanship for which he would later become known.\u00a0 His true breakthrough came when he teamed up with Art Rupert &#8211; founder of Specialty Records.\u00a0 According to Rupert, Penniman had repeatedly called the office asking why no one had responded about the tape that he had sent in. Finally, Rupert and his A&amp;R man at the time, Richard \u201cBumps\u201d Blackwell, decided to go downstairs and give the tape another listen.\u00a0 Penniman\u2019s persistence paid off.\u00a0 Rupert sent Blackwell to hear Penniman live with the permission to begin recording if he liked what he heard.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Details on the origin story of \u201cTutti Frutti\u201d vary with both credited writers claiming after-the-fact\u00a0 to have written the song by themselves. The commonly accepted version is that LeBostrie was brought in to clean up the lyrics to a bawdy number that Little Richard often performed live but which was too risque for recorded music in the 1950s.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The story begins with Penniman in the recording studio, feeling a little frustrated that they hadn\u2019t been able to capture the same feel of his live performance. Blackwell recalled: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c&#8230;the first session was to run six hours, and we planned to cut eight sides. Richard ran through the songs on his audition tape. [&#8230;] so far so good. But it wasn\u2019t really what I was looking for. I\u2019d heard that Richard\u2019s stage act was really wild, but in the studio that day he was very inhibited.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In an attempt to energize the sessions, they headed over to the Dew Drop Inn where Little Richard found himself an audience and a piano. He broke into a wild performance of \u201cTutti Frutti\u201d and Blackwell knew he had found their hit. There was only one problem &#8211; the lyrics that Penniman had performed on stage would never pass for radio play. Thinking fast, Blackwell asked Le Bostrie to come in and clean them up:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201c&#8230;I said to her, \u201cLook. You come and write some lyrics to this, cos I can\u2019t use the lyrics Richard\u2019s got.\u201d He had some terrible words in there. Well, Richard was embarrassed to sing the song and she was not certain that she wanted to hear it. Time was running out and I knew it could be a hit. I talked, using every argument I could think of [&#8230;] And finally, I convinced them. Richard turned to face the wall and sang two or three times and Dorothy listened.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Le Bostrie went into another room to quickly write the lyrics while Penniman recorded \u201cDirectly from My Heart to You\u201d and \u201cI\u2019m Just a Lonely Guy\u201d. With only fifteen minutes left in the sesion, and Richard left with almost no voice, LeBostrie returned with the new lyrics. Little Richard stepped up to the piano and made rock music history.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTutti Frutti\u201d was recorded on September 14, 1955 at J&amp;M Studios in New Orleans. J&amp;M was home to many of early rock \u2018n roll\u2019s foundational recordings, not only by Little Richard, but also those of Fats Domino and Guitar Slim. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">J&amp;M\u2019s founder Cossimo Matassa was even inducted, as a non-performer, into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for his contributions to rock \u2018n roll\u2019s earliest recordings. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many of the session musicians who played on \u201cTutti Frutti\u201d are the same musicians who played on other early rock n\u2019 roll recordings, like those of Fats Domino.\u00a0 This includes tenor saxophonist Lee Allen, and baritone saxophonist<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Alvin \u201cRed\u201d Tyler. Frank Fields played double bass and Earl Palmer was on drums during these sessions, and Justin Adams played guitar on the track.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pianist Huey Smith was hired for the session and performed on many of these early tracks. However, with the last minute addition of\u00a0 \u201cTutti Frutti,\u201d and only a few minutes left to record, there was no time to teach Smith the part and Little Richard performed the piano for the song.\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Blackwell explained:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThere had been no chance to write an arrangement, so I had to take the chance on Richard playing the piano himself. That wild piano was essential to the success of the song. It was impossible for the other piano players to learn it in the short time we had. I put a microphone between Richard and the piano and another inside the piano, and we started to record it. It took three takes, and in fifteen minutes we had it. \u2018Tutti Frutti\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Richard\u2019s driving piano and the vigor of his vocal performance are key elements to the song\u2019s success. His aggressive playing on the piano is the sound which really started the rock \u2018n roll revolution. His hoops and hollers set him apart from the rest of the nascent rock \u2018n roll landscape, which was largely merging pop\u2019s crooning warmth with rhythm and blue\u2019s rhythmic vitality.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cTutti Frutti\u201d was released by Specialty in October 1955, only a few weeks after recording.\u00a0 By December, the song had reached the Billboard Rhythm and Blues Charts and by February of 1956, it had risen to number two. The song\u2019s crossover success is a bit more complicated. In 1955, African American artists like Little Richard faced the added struggle of constant competition of cover versions by white artists. For example, Pat Boone\u2019s \u201cTutti Frutti\u201d was released shortly after Richard\u2019s and reached number 12 on the Pop charts. Little Richard\u2019s version also crossed over to the Pop charts but only reached #21.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If Penniman\u2019s original lyrics were sanitized for recording purposes, Boone\u2019s team took it even further. After Penniman\u2019s 2016 death, Boone reflected on the process of changing the lyrics for 50s radio sensibilities: <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI took a liberty now and then and changed a lyric. The hard part about \u201cLong Tall Sally\u201d was singing it in such a way that I didn\u2019t draw attention to the fact that Sally was not Uncle John\u2019s wife. Uncle John saw Aunt Mary coming and he ducked back in the alley, because he was there with Long Tall Sally. I didn\u2019t want to ask what that was about. The subject matter was more of a problem for me with \u201cTutti Frutti.\u201d Some of the words, like, \u201cShe knows how to love me, yes indeed\/You don\u2019t know what you do to me,\u201d\u00a0 sounded a little racy. So I changed it to \u201cpretty little Susie is the gal for me.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pat Boone\u2019s recollection speaks to the radio dynamics of the mid-fifties, when pop hits were required to be family friendly.\u00a0 Little Richard struggled with Boone\u2019s success &#8211; sometimes reflecting on how it had impacted his own by bringing his song to wider audiences&#8230;and other times lamenting the racial tensions of the time and the suppression his song experienced when it was easier for record executives to just hire a White artist to cover and piggy-back off of his songwriting and style.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Undoubtedly, Penniman had created a classic song and everyone was drawn to it. Elvis Presley also covered \u201cTutti Frutti\u201d in March of 1926. The Beatles included it as part of their live set in their early touring days, and Queen even played it on tour in the eighties.\u00a0 It is certainly one of rock \u2018n roll\u2019s foundational tracks and a song that changed popular music history forever. \u00a0 It was voted #1 on Mojo\u2019s 2007 list of \u201cThe Top 100 Records that Changed the World\u201d declaring it \u201ct<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">he sound of the birth of rock and roll.\u201d The US Library of Congress National Recording Registry added Little Richard\u2019s original version to its registry in 2010, explaining that its \u201cunique vocalizing over the irresistible beat announced a new era in music.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Little Richard has famously called himself the King &#8211; and Queen &#8211; of Rock \u2018n Roll,\u00a0 and certainly he has a claim to the throne. With tracks like \u201cTutti Frutti\u201d he transformed the popular music landscape of the fifties, creating rhythm and blues tracks that would not only crossover onto the popular charts but truly inspire generations of listeners and musicians to come. His more lasting moniker as the \u201carchitect\u201d of rock \u2018n roll is certainly fitting. He laid the foundation for what rock \u2018n roll was to be and continued to challenge musicians and listeners to keep up as he remained performing across his lifetime.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Written by: Caitlin Vaughn Carlos<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"page\" title=\"Page 1\"><strong>Watch the\u00a0video below to learn more about Little Richard&#8217;s &#8220;Tutti Frutti&#8221;!<\/strong><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwd2lkdGglM0QlMjI1NjAlMjIlMjBoZWlnaHQlM0QlMjIzMTUlMjIlMjBzcmMlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbSUyRmVtYmVkJTJGbUw5dTN5ZWxkakElMjIlMjB0aXRsZSUzRCUyMllvdVR1YmUlMjB2aWRlbyUyMHBsYXllciUyMiUyMGZyYW1lYm9yZGVyJTNEJTIyMCUyMiUyMGFsbG93JTNEJTIyYWNjZWxlcm9tZXRlciUzQiUyMGF1dG9wbGF5JTNCJTIwY2xpcGJvYXJkLXdyaXRlJTNCJTIwZW5jcnlwdGVkLW1lZGlhJTNCJTIwZ3lyb3Njb3BlJTNCJTIwcGljdHVyZS1pbi1waWN0dXJlJTIyJTIwYWxsb3dmdWxsc2NyZWVuJTNFJTNDJTJGaWZyYW1lJTNF[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]In the mid-fifties, rock \u2018n roll was emerging onto the popular music landscape, as wider audiences began to discover the energy and vitality of rhythm and blues records.
