192 Little Richard (1932- ) “Tutti-Frutti” 1955

“’I think my legacy should be that when I started in show business, there wasn't no such thing as rock & roll,’ Richard says. ‘It was “swing and sway with Sammy Kaye.” It was John Lee Hooker, Elmore James and then after a while, here comes Chuck Berry. And when I started with “Tutti Frutti,” that's when rock really started rocking, with wop-bob-a-loo-bop-a-lop-bam-boom, you know?’” (Rolling Stone, 2013). Listed on the National Recording Registry of the Library of Congress.
