1 “Tutti Frutti” has been recorded dozens of times in its sixty-plus-year history, including: Pat Boone's notorious 1956 version; Adriano Celantano's 1958 Italian job; Danish duo Jan & Kjeld's 1959 recording; Johnny Hallyday's French effort from 1961; Liverpool's Swinging Blue Jeans in 1964, Detroit's MC5 in 1970, as well as versions from the California Raisins and Alvin & the Chipmunks in 1988 and 1990 respectively. It is now widely considered one of the most important songs of the rock and roll revolution.
