In February 1955, he sent a [[demo (music)|demo]] tape to [[Specialty Records]], which was heard by Specialty owner [[Art Rupe]]. Rupe heard promise in the tapes and arranged a recording session for Little Richard at [[Cosimo Matassa]]'s J & M Studio in New Orleans in September 1955, with [[Fats Domino]]'s backing band and [[Bumps Blackwell|Robert "Bumps" Blackwell]] as producer. The band included [[Lee Allen (musician)|Lee Allen]] and [[Alvin Tyler|Alvin "Red" Tyler]] on [[saxophone]]s, [[Huey Smith]] on [[piano]], Frank Fields on [[double bass]], Justin Adams on [[guitar]] and [[Earl Palmer]] on [[Drum kit|drums]].<ref name=DawsonPropes>Jim Dawson and Steve Propes, ''What Was The First Rock'n'Roll Record,'' 1992, {{ISBN|0-571-12939-0}}</ref><ref name=grove>Penniman, Richard Wayne. "Little Richard." Little Richard 24 Jan 2008. GroveMusic.com (subscription only)</ref> As the session wore on, Little Richard's anarchic performance style was not being fully captured on tape. In frustration during a lunch break, he started pounding a piano and singing a ribald song that he had written and composed, and which he had been performing live for a few years.<ref name="whitep55">White, Charles (2003), p.55 ''The Life and Times of Little Richard: The Authorised Biography.''

Tutti Frutti, good booty}} After this lively performance, Blackwell knew the song was going to be a hit, but recognized that the lyrics, with their "minstrel modes and sexual humor", needed to be revised for lyrical purity.<ref name=Lhamon/> Blackwell contacted local songwriter [[Dorothy LaBostrie]] to revise the lyrics, with Little Richard still playing in his characteristic style. According to Blackwell, LaBostrie "didn't understand melody" but she was definitely a "prolific writer".<ref>Brackett, David. The Pop, Rock, and Soul Reader: Histories and Debates. New York: Oxford, 2004</ref> The original lyrics, in which "Tutti Frutti" referred to a homosexual man, were: {{poemquote|Tutti Frutti, good booty If it don't fit, don't force it You can grease it, make it easy<ref name=cWhite>White, Charles. The Life and Times of Little Richard: The Quasar of Rock". New York: Harmony, 1984</ref>}} These were replaced with: {{poemquote|Tutti Frutti, aw rooty Tutti Frutti, aw rooty.}} "Aw rooty" was a slang expression meaning "All right". According to [[Charles Connor]], Little Richard's drummer, the original lyrics were: {{poemquote|Tutti Frutti, good booty If it's tight, it's all right And if it's greasy, it makes it easy<ref>''Rock 'n' Roll America'' (BBC documentary, 2015), Part 1, c. 41:00</ref>}} In addition to Penniman and LaBostrie, a third name—Lubin—is credited as co-writer. Some sources considered this a pseudonym used by Specialty label owner [[Art Rupe]] to claim royalties on some of his label's songs,<ref name=DawsonPropes /> but others refer to songwriter Joe Lubin.<ref>[{{Allmusic|class=artist|id=p308092|pure_url=yes}} allmusic ((( Joe Lubin > Overview )))]</ref> As possible evidence that the "sexual song" theory was created later, songwriter LaBostrie was quoted as saying, "Little Richard didn't write none of 'Tutti Frutti'. I'll tell you exactly how I came to write that. I used to live on Galvez Street and my girlfriend and I liked to go down to the drug store and buy ice cream. One day we went in and saw this new flavor, Tutti Frutti. Right away I thought, 'Boy, that's a great idea for a song'. So I kept it in the back of my mind until I got to the studio that day. I also wrote the flip side of 'Tutti Frutti', 'I'm Just A Lonely Guy', and a spiritual, 'Blessed Mother', all in the same day." LaBostrie was still receiving royalty checks on the average of $5,000 every three to six months from the song in the 1980s.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rockabilly.nl/references/messages/dorothy_labostrie.htm |title=Dorothy Labostrie |publisher=Rockabilly.nl |date= |accessdate=2015-11-09}}</ref> Blackwell said time constraints prevented the development of a new arrangement, so Little Richard recorded the revised song in three takes, taking about 15 minutes, with the original piano part. The song was recorded on September 14, 1955.<ref name=DawsonPropes /> Released on Specialty 561, the record entered the ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' [[Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs|Rhythm and Blues chart]] at the end of December 1955 and rose to No.&nbsp;2 early in 1956. It also reached No.&nbsp;17 on the ''Billboard'' pop chart. In the UK, it only scraped into the top 30 in 1957, as the B-side of "[[Long Tall Sally]]". The song, with its [[Twelve-bar blues|twelve-bar blues chord progression]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.icce.rug.nl/~soundscapes/VOLUME06/Music_matters_Appendix.shtml |title=A sample of 100 rock and roll songs |publisher=Icce.rug.nl |date=2003-04-06 |accessdate=2015-11-09}}</ref> provided the foundation of Little Richard's career. It was seen as a very aggressive song that contained more features of African American vernacular music than any other past recordings in this style.<ref name=grove/> Richard's contract with Peacock had been purchased by [[Specialty Records]] owner [[Art Rupe]], who also owned the publishing company that bought Richard's songs.

The beat has its roots in [[boogie-woogie]], but Richard departed from its [[shuffle rhythm]] and introduced a new distinctive rock beat. He reinforced the new rock rhythm with a two-handed approach, playing patterns with his right hand, with the rhythm typically popping out in the piano's high [[Register (music)|register]]. The song's new rhythm became the basis for the standard rock beat, which was later consolidated by [[Chuck Berry]].<ref name=campbell115>{{cite web|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RK-JmVbv4OIC&pg=PA115 |title=Rock and Roll: An Introduction |author1=Michael Campbell |author2=James Brody |page=115 |publisher=Books.google.co.uk |date=2007-02-27 |accessdate=2015-11-09}}</ref> In 2007, an eclectic panel of renowned recording artists voted "Tutti Frutti" No.&nbsp;1 on [[Mojo (magazine)|Mojo]]'s ''The Top 100 Records That Changed The World,''<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rocklistmusic.co.uk/mojo.html#100%20Records%20That%20Changed%20the%20World |title=Rocklist.net...Mojo Lists |publisher=Rocklistmusic.co.uk |date= |accessdate=2017-08-30}}</ref> hailing the recording as "the sound of the birth of [[rock and roll]]."<ref name="Contactmusic.com">{{cite web|url=http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/article/tutti%20frutti%20tops%20world-changing%20hit%20list_1031090|title=Little Richard - Tutti Frutti Tops World-Changing Hit List|publisher=Contactmusic.com|date=May 16, 2007|accessdate=2017-08-30}}</ref> The song is No.&nbsp;43 on ''[[Rolling Stone]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s list of [[The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/11028260/the_rs_500_greatest_songs_of_all_time/1|title=The RS 500 Greatest Songs of All Time|publisher=RollingStone.com|accessdate=2007-06-02}}</ref> In April 2012, ''[[Rolling Stone]]'' magazine declared that the song "still has the most inspired rock lyric on record."<ref>[https://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/500-greatest-albums-of-all-time-19691231/heres-little-richard-little-richard-19691231#ixzz1rsqlCXTq ] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120408135202/http://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/500-greatest-albums-of-all-time-19691231/heres-little-richard-little-richard-19691231#ixzz1rsqlCXTq |date=April 8, 2012 }}</ref> ==Personnel== *[[Little Richard]]{{snd}}vocals, piano *[[Lee Allen (musician)|Lee Allen]]{{snd}}tenor saxophone *[[Alvin "Red" Tyler]]{{snd}}baritone saxophone *[[Frank Fields]]{{snd}}double bass *[[Earl Palmer]]{{snd}}drums ===Additional personnel=== *Justin Adams{{snd}}guitar ==Early cover versions== The song has been [[cover version|covered]] by many musicians.

Elvis' cut of "Tutti Frutti" was also released as part of a four track EP (RCA EPA-747) and as the b-side of "Blue Suede Shoes" (RCA 47-6636) which reached #20 on the 'Billboard' chart. ==The Beatles versions== According to eminent author [[Mark Lewisohn]] in ''The Complete Beatles Chronicles'' (p.&nbsp;365) [[The Beatles]] performed "Tutti Frutti" live from at least 1960 through 1962 (in Hamburg, Liverpool and elsewhere). Reportedly the lead vocal was always by [[Paul McCartney]], but it is unknown whether their version was actually based on the one by [[Elvis]] or that of [[Little Richard]]. No recorded version is known to survive. However, according to author Allen J. Weiner in ''The Beatles - The Ultimate Recording Guide'' (p.&nbsp;225) during the massive [[Get Back]] sessions a version of "Tutti Frutti" was recorded. A few months later [[George Harrison]] played on a live version which was recorded in Copenhagen with [[Delaney and Bonnie]] and [[Eric Clapton]] which came out on an unauthorized release, though a legitimate version was also recorded in concert in England (and released in 1970). In 1972 [[Ringo Starr]] drummed on, and produced a brief version with [[Elton John]] on piano and [[T. Rex (band)|T. Rex]] singer [[Marc Bolan]] on lead vocal. Lastly, in the 1990s [[Paul McCartney]] did a (professionally recorded) soundcheck singing "Tutti Frutti" but not like Elvis or Little Richard but instead like an extremely laid-back [[Pat Boone]] of 1956 (Boone's real version was more lively). The McCartney version came out on an unauthorized release, ''Soundcheck Songs Vol.&nbsp;1'') ==Later recordings and performances== {{unreferenced|section|date=June 2017}} Cover versions of the song have been recorded by numerous artists, including (by date): *French singer [[Johnny Halliday]] recorded it, in English, in 1961 ([[Disques Vogue]] EPL 7860). *Little Richard re-recorded the song in 1964 for [[Vee Jay Records]]' ''[[Little Richard's Greatest Hits]]'' and again in 1978 for a [[K-tel]] compilation titled ''[[Little Richard Live]]''. *[[The Swinging Blue Jeans]] included it on their debut album ''[[Blue Jeans a'Swinging]]'', [[HMV]] 1802, in 1964.

In February 1955, he sent a [[demo (music)|demo]] tape to [[Specialty Records]], which was heard by Specialty owner [[Art Rupe]]. Rupe heard promise in the tapes and arranged a recording session for Little Richard at [[Cosimo Matassa]]'s J & M Studio in New Orleans in September 1955, with [[Fats Domino]]'s backing band and [[Bumps Blackwell|Robert "Bumps" Blackwell]] as producer. The band included [[Lee Allen (musician)|Lee Allen]] and [[Alvin Tyler|Alvin "Red" Tyler]] on [[saxophone]]s, [[Huey Smith]] on [[piano]], Frank Fields on [[double bass]], Justin Adams on [[guitar]] and [[Earl Palmer]] on [[Drum kit|drums]].<ref name=DawsonPropes>Jim Dawson and Steve Propes, ''What Was The First Rock'n'Roll Record,'' 1992, {{ISBN|0-571-12939-0}}</ref><ref name=grove>Penniman, Richard Wayne.

According to Blackwell, LaBostrie "didn't understand melody" but she was definitely a "prolific writer".<ref>Brackett, David. The Pop, Rock, and Soul Reader: Histories and Debates. New York: Oxford, 2004</ref> The original lyrics, in which "Tutti Frutti" referred to a homosexual man, were: {{poemquote|Tutti Frutti, good booty If it don't fit, don't force it You can grease it, make it easy<ref name=cWhite>White, Charles.

I'll tell you exactly how I came to write that. I used to live on Galvez Street and my girlfriend and I liked to go down to the drug store and buy ice cream. One day we went in and saw this new flavor, Tutti Frutti. Right away I thought, 'Boy, that's a great idea for a song'. So I kept it in the back of my mind until I got to the studio that day. I also wrote the flip side of 'Tutti Frutti', 'I'm Just A Lonely Guy', and a spiritual, 'Blessed Mother', all in the same day." LaBostrie was still receiving royalty checks on the average of $5,000 every three to six months from the song in the 1980s.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rockabilly.nl/references/messages/dorothy_labostrie.htm |title=Dorothy Labostrie |publisher=Rockabilly.nl |date= |accessdate=2015-11-09}}</ref> Blackwell said time constraints prevented the development of a new arrangement, so Little Richard recorded the revised song in three takes, taking about 15 minutes, with the original piano part.

It also reached No.&nbsp;17 on the ''Billboard'' pop chart. In the UK, it only scraped into the top 30 in 1957, as the B-side of "[[Long Tall Sally]]".

He reinforced the new rock rhythm with a two-handed approach, playing patterns with his right hand, with the rhythm typically popping out in the piano's high [[Register (music)|register]].

Elvis' cut of "Tutti Frutti" was also released as part of a four track EP (RCA EPA-747) and as the b-side of "Blue Suede Shoes" (RCA 47-6636) which reached #20 on the 'Billboard' chart. ==The Beatles versions== According to eminent author [[Mark Lewisohn]] in ''The Complete Beatles Chronicles'' (p.&nbsp;365) [[The Beatles]] performed "Tutti Frutti" live from at least 1960 through 1962 (in Hamburg, Liverpool and elsewhere). Reportedly the lead vocal was always by [[Paul McCartney]], but it is unknown whether their version was actually based on the one by [[Elvis]] or that of [[Little Richard]]. No recorded version is known to survive. However, according to author Allen J. Weiner in ''The Beatles - The Ultimate Recording Guide'' (p.&nbsp;225) during the massive [[Get Back]] sessions a version of "Tutti Frutti" was recorded. A few months later [[George Harrison]] played on a live version which was recorded in Copenhagen with [[Delaney and Bonnie]] and [[Eric Clapton]] which came out on an unauthorized release, though a legitimate version was also recorded in concert in England (and released in 1970). In 1972 [[Ringo Starr]] drummed on, and produced a brief version with [[Elton John]] on piano and [[T. Rex (band)|T. Rex]] singer [[Marc Bolan]] on lead vocal. Lastly, in the 1990s [[Paul McCartney]] did a (professionally recorded) soundcheck singing "Tutti Frutti" but not like Elvis or Little Richard but instead like an extremely laid-back [[Pat Boone]] of 1956 (Boone's real version was more lively). The McCartney version came out on an unauthorized release, ''Soundcheck Songs Vol.&nbsp;1'') ==Later recordings and performances== {{unreferenced|section|date=June 2017}} Cover versions of the song have been recorded by numerous artists, including (by date): *French singer [[Johnny Halliday]] recorded it, in English, in 1961 ([[Disques Vogue]] EPL 7860). *Little Richard re-recorded t he song in 1964 for [[Vee Jay Records]]' ''[[Little Richard's Greatest Hits]]'' and again in 1978 for a hey bitch compilation titled ''[[Little Richard Live]]''. *[[The Swinging Blue Jeans]] included it on their debut album ''[[Blue Jeans a'Swinging]]'', [[HMV]] 1802, in 1964.
