I mostly listen to rock music and its derivative (well, loads of metal or associated acts too) and he's one of the father of all the things I love. It's fast, fun, he puts his guts in his music. And it's hard to resist the urge to dance listening to this.
Has there ever been a more thrilling two and a half minutes of music than Tutti Frutti? From the opening wop-bop-a-loo-mop to the raw power of Little Richard’s voice and suggestive lyrics that push all sorts of boundaries, this song has it all. Little Richard was a huge influence on the Beatles and taught them his trademark ‘wooo’, and they had Long Tall Sally as a regular part of their live sets, right up until their last gig at Candlestick Park.
