Tutti Frutti

Little Richard

Macon, Georgia's Little Richard records "Tutti Frutti" at J&M Studios in New Orleans. With it's opening cry of "A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop-a-wop-bam-boom!" Richard's raw, full tilt vocals drive the song to No. 2 on the R&B charts and No. 17 U.S. Pop. With it's loud, fast style and wild lyrics, this song helped define rock and roll.
