Again Elvis was the first to sing this song. No need to compare with the others versions. The original is still the best
Well I can’t say for sure, but per google. Tutti frutti was written in 1955 by little Richard. So just curious, how did Elvis sang it before it was written? All opinions welcome, drop yours below everyone
This was Little Richard’s song. 1955. Elvis Presley covered it afterwards in 1956.
Elvis not only credited Little Richard, Elvis paid him song rights as he always did to song writers, and then gave him residuals based on his own sales. Little Richard made a fortune on that song and Elvis made him bigger as an artist. Elvis fans went out and bought millions of Little Richard’s albums.That’s why black artists loved working with him.
Elvis wasn’t trying to steal - he was trying to make everybody as much money as possible and get them the recognition and respect that they deserved. In fact, he never stole a single song from anyone.
Elvis was not in that group of white artists that were stealing music. He wanted nothing to do with them.
He was interested in opening up the entire industry so that everyone can make money including black artists. That’s exactly what he did. In the studio, on radio stations and even at music venues where he insisted black artists be treated the same as white artists, or he wouldn't perform. Elvis changed a lot of stuff.
your right the original is the best
little richards original version that **he** wrote
this is the one song that elvis covered that wasn't as good as the original
another would be johnny b goode
no one can touch chucks version not even elvis
though i do love elvis' version of johnny b goode more than his version of tutti frutti
I love both artists and versions. I prefer Little Richard’s version as that was his biggest hit ever so he hit it out of the park. But Elvis’ version was almost as good and I prefer listening to it more often. So it’s a toss up among two legends and friends.
Oh Elvis’ live versions of Johnny B Goode in 1969 and 1970 are the best I ever heard. czcams.com/video/ZW_YwSZY3AU/video.htmlsi=cQRMTSjeso6O6F6J
Little Richard wrote and recorded the song first; Pat Boone recorded it second; Elvis recorded it third. Elvis introduced the Black sound & movements to both Black and white audiences, adding his 'somethin' somethin'' that made the songs even more popular. Prior to Elvis, Black radio stations played Black music, white radio stations played white music; people forget that it was a period of time when segregation was thoroughly entrenched in society as a whole. Elvis always credited Black artists for their influence in Rock & Roll and many of his favorite songs were written and/or sung by Black artists. The idea that Elvis 'stole' Black music is ridiculous. Was he influenced by Black artists? Yes, Elvis was also influenced by country & gospel. He 'fused' all of them together which is why he is in 5 Music Halls of Fame.
Amen. I wouldn't compare Elvis' cover to Little Richards anyway. They are two different artists and I can appreciate both versions for what they are. Though I will admit that I really enjoy Little Richard's version, however Elvis could sing the ABC's and I'd love it. That is the difference for me. I just love Elvis' voice in the 50's, 60's and 70's. I compare him to nobody, because to me he can't be compared to.
Exactly, Mr. Chips. Elvis was and is still incomparable for very obvious reasons.
What Elvis did was allow it to be OK for white kids to appreciate race music, as it was then called, the parents saw a white good looking guy with great voice which opened the door. I wouldn't say he introduced it more he made it respectable to a largely racist ( at time, context is everything) audience. A bonus that he was talented guy.
There are people who say Elvis stole music from black performers, and many mention “Hound Dog” as proof of that claim. This is a big misunderstanding. During that time, it was quite normal for there to be songwriters, publishers, and performers. Here are the facts: Two white Jewish songwriters, Leiber & Stoller, wrote the song for Big Mama Thornton. That is true. She recorded her great bluesy version in 1952 and had a seven-week No. 1 hit on the R&B charts in 1953 with it. She sold a good number of copies. However, it did not perform in the other charts. Publishers managed the rights to the song, offered the song to artists, and/or allowed several artists to make cover versions. Most importantly, two years later, in 1955, Freddie Bell and the Bellboys recorded a more swing-oriented version and performed it live. In 1956 in Las Vegas, Elvis saw a live performance of Freddie Bell & the Bellboys and liked the song. After that concert, Freddie Bell claims to have personally given Elvis a copy of the record in hopes that Elvis would record it and they would benefit from Elvis making the song a hit. Elvis performed a version that was a mix of rock’n’roll with a bluesy finish during his appearance on the Milton Berle Show. He recorded “Hound Dog” after that performance. Later live versions are more similar to the one published as a record. It’s sad, but only the master take has survived, even though they recorded 30 takes. Elvis reached No. 1 on the R&B, Pop, and Country charts. He had an eleven-week No. 1 streak. Leiber and Stoller initially did not like Elvis’s approach to the song as it was written for a woman and was meant to be a blues tune, not rock’n’roll. But, as they said themselves, after making a lot of money with it, they got to love it. So, they were the owners of the tune, and their publishing company gave it to other artists to sing. So it was not stolen from Big Mama Thornton. Leiber and Stoller started to work with Elvis afterward until Col. Tom Parker stopped the collaboration because he felt that they influenced his relationship with Elvis. Many people came to know Big Mama’s version because of Elvis. The song was not stolen, and she never claimed it was. The same is applicable for “Tutti Frutti,” for example. Written and performed by Little Richard, his publisher allowed the covering of it. First by Pat Boone, who toned down the lyrics and made a softer, they called it a family-friendly version. Later on, by Elvis who performed a faster and “harder” version of the song than Little Richard’s more bluesy original recording. When he first heard Elvis’s version, Little Richard said he was disgusted because many white performers did cover versions without paying the original artists or paying just a few bucks, but when he saw the royalties coming in, he changed his mind, as he was getting his share. His words, not mine. When performing songs live, Elvis mentioned that songs were from other artists. He performed “Long Tall Sally,” also by Little Richard, live in Las Vegas in 1956. Before singing the song, he said, “This song here was recorded by a friend of mine called Little Richard. I have never met him, but here is his song.” This may sound like nothing today, but in 1956, publicly being friends with a black artist (even if he had not met him) was breaking down barriers and giving credit to the original songwriter. Since the 1950s, Elvis credited the original artists of songs whether they were black or white. He only wrote one song by himself, but there were songs he called “my songs”; those were the songs that songwriters wrote especially for him. Then it was a common practice to have songwriters for many artists. Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Buddy Holly, Eddie Cochran, and Ritchie Valens changed that practice and influenced bands and songwriters of later generations like the Beatles. Another example of this common practice is Bill Haley’s “Rock Around the Clock”; it was offered to Elvis in 1956 after being a hit for the Comets, but for whatever reasons, it did not make the cut. Otis Blackwell was one black songwriter who wrote several songs for Elvis, like “Don’t Be Cruel”. Elvis recorded “Don’t Be Cruel” during the “Hound Dog” session. Afterward, he saw Jackie Wilson perform a version of “Don’t Be Cruel” live on stage, and Elvis said Jackie had sung it better than him. By the way, Jackie Wilson and Elvis became friends, and after Jackie fell into a coma and was hospitalized, Elvis paid Jackie’s hospital bill up until his own death. “Heartbreak Hotel”, a song written for Elvis (he got writer’s credit on it, but what he did was arranging it, not writing) and obviously he is known for it, was covered the same year by The Cadets, a black R&B / Doo Wop group. Elvis covered Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas”, and the Drifters did too. Nobody claims this was stolen. The Pearls, a black R&B / Doo Wop group, and Elvis covered Hank Williams’ “Your Cheating Heart”. Are these cover versions stolen goods? I could go on, but I think I made my point. These songs were not stolen; they are different interpretations of great base material, and the royalties were paid. One last example: Doc Pomus and Mort Shuman wrote “Little Sister” for Elvis. LaVern Baker did an answer song called “Hey Memphis”. Nobody would consider that she stole the song. It’s the same song from an answering perspective. It would have been great if she had called Elvis by his name in that song, but I believe they considered it would create problems because of the stupid racial beliefs of that time, which sadly some people still carry around. Later on in Elvis’s career, Col. Parker tried to obligate songwriters to use his publishing company (under Elvis’s name) to assure a bigger part of the royalties in his favor. Many did, some did not, like Dolly Parton. Elvis liked her song “I Will Always Love You” (many years later a big hit for Whitney Houston), but she understandably did not accept Parker’s proposal. I wonder how many other great songs would have been recorded by Elvis if not for Col. Parker’s greed. I do like both versions, Little Richards and Elvis interpretation. They are excellent in their own individual ways and Little Richard needs to be thanked for this great tune.
No one stole songs, they were covers and very common back then as it is now.
As much as I love Elvis, I’d give this one to little Richard. Little Richard was more than Ok with it. He said “Thank God for Elvis Presley”
I have a newspaper clipping from some time in the 1980s when Little Richard gave an interview, he told the journalist that of all the hundreds of people that covered his songs over the years, only Otis Redding, Elvis and The Beatles ..he felt did legitimate versions of his songs. .. Meaning that Those three artists put the same feeling and energy into it That he himself could appreciate.
As for stealing, that's something that a lot of people like to say, but no one seems to know that he addressed the subject head on years ago in an interview with N. M. E magazine, When L.R. talked about people that were ripping him off but he said Elvis was not one of them. He talked about how he always got his propers and his due respect from Elvis and went on to explain all the reasons he respected Elvis as an artist.
Now people like Pat Boone and many others trying to cover his songs, Little Richard thought was a joke, Because they really couldn't even relate to that sound or sing it and feel it properly.
But it's cool knowing Little Richard dug elvis's version.
Little Richard said "I hate it when Elvis sang my song" but it helped me because it made me bigger too. Elvis opened doors for black artists that were blocked before. That´s the reason why all the black artists from that era loved Elvis. Chuck Berry loved him, Little Richard loves him, Fats Domino etc. they all loved "The King".
Elvis didn't steal this. Songwriters weren't protected back then. Little Richard said by Elvis doing this, it made the song bigger and Little Richard bigger
Thank you for playing Elvis Presley 🙏🙏🙏
LITTLE RICHARD - "He sung my Tootie Frutti & by him singing it, made it bigger & made ME bigger" And then he said: “I thank God for Elvis Presley. I thank the Lord for sending Elvis to open the door so I could walk down the road...”- Little Richard
JACKIE WILSON: "A lot of people have accused Elvis of stealing the black man's music, when in fact, almost every black solo entertainer copied from Elvis."
Elvis quietly paid for Jackie's medical expenses until the day he passed away in 1977. Before Jackie's stage accident, Jackie's son stated that his father would carry a small signed photo of Elvis in his pants pocket. Every day, bar none.
Elvis was also the first man to walk on the moon 🌙
@@bobbygrujic
its true
there is a whole documentary about his secret agent life on netflix
but only the super cool fans know this lol
even after jackie died elvis sent money to his widow every month
even after elvis died jackies widow continued to receive a check every month from his estate though im unsure for how long
@@belinda35_77Are you sure? Because I know Elvis did that for Roy Hamilton's widow. That was stated by one of Hamilton's grandchildren.
@@monasrum4321
yep
there a couple interviews where jackies son talks about it
i'll try and find the interviews & link them here for you :)
youtube does remove some comments with links so hopefully i will be able to link it for you
He didnt steal any music! Just like artists today doing cover songs!
you hit the nail on the head when you said that Elvis does Little Richard's song justice. and it's not a copy or theft, as is always said. Elvis had an instinct, an understanding, a knowledge of music and never denied his influences. and that's why he respected her. listen to Pat Boone's version and you will understand that he has taken away all the very essence of this music. he ranked ahead of Little Richard with his version while Elvis' September 1956 single did not chart.
Loved little Richard
Elvis was not trying to outdo Little Richard with Tutti Frutti. He was simply having a bit of fun with it....don't believe he even liked the song that much. And, as others have already pointed out, EP was doing his bit to bring attention to the coloured artists....mad respect to the Caucasian Brother ✊🏽💯⚡❤️
No Elvis didn't steal this song...watch the documentary Elvis The Echo Will Never Die
..you can hear what Little Richard said...he was sure Elvis made his song more popular..cause he had a wider audience and it reached more people.😅
I bought it by Little Richard. I was crazy about Elvis. . Nice review. 👑 🎸
Elvis did little Richards song better in my opinon but dont get me wrong i still like little richards version too. Glad elvis did little richard proud and made little richard bigger because of this..
😊😊😊😊
why does people say steal when elvis did a cover of a song?
like people think you can just take a song and record it without paying the writer/artist before recording it,
if he stole a song he would been sued by the artist and the record company.
so saying stealing is wrong,he covered it,yes but paid the writer/artist for it,and brought the song out to a wider audience
and that made little richard even more popular,little richard have said that himself.
Elvis COVERED the song, the way everybody covers songs today . If Elvis is guilty of theft , than any time somebody does someone else's song they , too, are THIEVES ! If Little Richard was denied credit or royalties for his song , blame racist record companies at that time, don't blame Elvis.
People act like he just took music without giving them money and that was taken care of by Colonel Parker, he negotiate deals with other artists IF they wrote songs. If they were coving a song, that was different. When black artist "Sample" songs of white people no one says did they steal a song from a white person. People say that about Hound Dog, because Mama Thorton sang that song in 1953. It was given to her to sing by two white Jewish song writers from New York who owned and wrote the song, they were Lieber and Stoller. She did well with the song selling a half million records. Her greedy management stole her money and left her penniless. Elvis heard the song in 56 sung by a white group and liked it. He contacted the owners Lieber and Stoller and ask if he could record the song. and he wanted them to rewrite it from a man's perspective. They were not Elvis fans at first and reluctantly gave him the song. Lieber was in Paris when he heard that his song sung by Elvis was number one in the world. He couldn't believe he was a rich man. Later Lieber and Stoller would join Elvis' writing team which gave him many hits like "Jailhouse Rock".. Elvis never sang any song unless it was legally acquired. He was the biggest promoter of race songs as they were called back them. Little Richard said, "Elvis opened the door for black artist that white stations wouldn't even play in the 50's. Stop perpetuating that lie.
Elvis had his first hit "Thats Alright Mama" in 1954.
Chuck Berry, Little Richard, and Bo Diddiley all had their first hits in 1955. ELvis was influenced by Big Boy Crudup, Willie DIxon, Muddy Waters etc from blues
One thing that seems to be ignored is Rock and Roll was not just blues-it was a combination of country, blues, pop of the era and gospel music. All 4 of these became rock and roll.
BUT he was also influenced by Eddy Arnold, Hank Snow, Hank WIlliams etc from country music.
And influenced by Dean Martin, Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole and others from pop music of the era
NOT to forget he was born in Tupelo Mississippi and lived on the poor black side of town where he went to black and white churches and loved gospel music. He "organically" was drenched in the black culture of the south,
I must point out that Chuck Berry was influenced greatly by country artists-his first hit "Maybelline" was actually a country artist Bob Wills song from the 40s "Ida Red" that Chuck wrote new lyrics for and sped up.
No one says Chuck stole from country-he was influenced by country.
Ray Charles had several hits with "cover versions" of country songs-some of the first music he heard as a child was from the "
Grand ole Opry on radio. He was influenced by country-no one says he stole from it.
James Brown was one of the few people who was allowed to visit the “King” at his open coffin. “He was in there for hours,” Elvis’ guitarist James Burton recalled in an interview. “I think they had to drag him away because he wouldn’t leave.” 😮🥰
I love Elvis' and Little Richard's version. Pat Boone made everything sound like muzak. 😂
Any one can sing someone's song if writer agrees it's more money for the writer
you do know if Elvis was going to sing a song you wrote you had to hand over 50% rights to the song.
I think Little Richard sings this best, Elvis's version is energetic but Little Richard's is the best!
Scary to me that it's even a question Little Richard was a genius and continues not to get his dues,Elvis was good looking could sing and most importantly (in 50's) white.
The black singer Roy Hamilton biggest hits in the 50s was Unchained Melody and You'll never walk alone, both covers of songs written by white songwriters. Hamilton didn't steal the songs, and Elvis never stole any songs🤷♀️
Please check out 'Bridge over Troubled Waters '❤❤❤

Covering someone else song is an homage to the song writer! Its not stealing sillies !!
You are right…wish the orchestra was was way too loud. His voice is the magic ingredient so drowning it ain’t good
love Elvis but little Richard did it better this is one of the few songs Elvis covered that he didn't do better than the original artist - but music is music - once it is written anyone can sing it (if they pay) - hey even Beyonce is going country
Nobody stole anything! It's crime you know? Tired of this BS!!!😂😂😂❤
😢The original is Still best little Richard
Why is Elvis covering a song “stealing” it. So everyone who covers songs steals them, really? Little Richard himself said that by Elvis covering this song made him and the song bigger.
DID JHONY CASH STEEL HURT?
fastrst version...but is fast the best? not sure
I saw u react to Elvis in the black community,did U Not Hear Little Richard say by Elvis doing it made Richard bigger??? Quit trying to get something on Elvis it won't work he's got to many fans that will come at u in the comments!!and u with that did Elvis steal this song BS u just can't face it Elvis is the king of rock with millions of fans worldwide, live with it, his LENGEND will never die!!
👑
@@bobbygrujic I corrected my spelling,I was so pissed when writing it,I grew up with the king,I will always defend him!!!
Personally I have never been a fan of this song by Elvis nor Little Richard. Especially when I found out that it was originally written to be about homosexuality, but Richard changed up the lyrics to be more acceptable.
There is a much better performance of this song by Elvis. Also 1956, but it's not this one.

One of the weaker rock songs Elvis sang, and not one of Little Richards best IMHO. Elvis never had a single hit with it, as the competition came from Pat Boone. In 1954 3 artists took 'Hey There' into the top 30, as that's what happened in those days while as for the so called stealing songs, how many people know 'I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston was a big hit for its writer Dolly Parton a few years earlier.
Why OH Why is it ....... ELVIS STOLED BLACK MUSIC, when ALL RAPPERS STEAL ALL MUSIC (sorry SAMPLE).
