I bought a 45 of "Long Tall Sally" and "Tutti Frutti".
The first embarassment is that I am admitting that I'm quite old, relatively speaking. This purchase was all the way back in the mid-fifties.
But what is really embarassing is that the record was by Pat Boone, not Little Richard. I guess I was listening to this music on AM radio and in those days they were only playing the rip off covers of the real music. A few years later, I had learned who the real musicians were.... Little Richard, Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly. I saw these guys live many times in the old Alan Freed R&R shows.
