Although, "epic" is a term much bandied about by music journalists, there are few moments in rock & roll history that truly deserve that label. That said this LP, Little Richard's debut, is one of them. While it's true that in many ways Little Richard was continuing in the style of predecessors like Fats Domino, it can also be said that "the Georgia Peach" was the original punk rocker of R&B. He cranked up the volume, caked on the eyeliner, upped the tempo, and pounded the ivories while wailing, "tutti frutti, loose booty!" (although it had to be changed to "aw rooty" for the official recording).
