The song, a jump blues, was written by John Marascalco and producer Robert "Bumps" Blackwell.
Although it was first recorded by Little Richard, Blackwell produced another version by the Valiants, who imitated the fast first version recorded by Little Richard, not released at that time.
Although the Valiants' version was released first (in 1957), Little Richard had the hit, reaching #4.
Like all his early hits, it quickly became a rock 'n' roll standard and has subsequently been recorded by hundreds of artists.
The song is ranked #94 on the Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
