#14: Here's Little Richard - Little Richard (1957)

Did you know that Little Richard's original lyrics to "Tutti Frutti" were "tutti frutti loose booty?" I'm not kidding. They were changed to "aw, rooty" to be more commercially acceptable. I'll never be able to sing the official lyrics again.

This was a fun album to listen to, if for no other reason that he is such a character. With his signat
ure "wooo" on just about every track, I found myself reminded of the In Living Color skit, "Little Richard's Playhouse." Anyone else remember that? Shut up!



Favorite Tracks: "Tutti Frutti," "Long Tall Sally" and "Jenny Jenny"
