Directed by: Unknown
Tutti Frutti, released in November 1955, is a groundbreaking rock and roll song by Little Richard. Co-written with Dorothy LaBostrie, the track is renowned for its energetic refrain and hard-driving sound, which became a model for future rock and roll songs. The song’s opening exclamation, “A-wop-bop-a-loo-mop-a-lop-bam-boom!” is particularly iconic. “Tutti Frutti” was Little Richard’s first major hit, reaching No. 2 on Billboard’s Rhythm and Blues Best-Sellers chart.
