MUSIC FROM THE PAST: TUTTI FRUTTI

Par Boone was never one of my favorite singers.  (My sister, however, worshipped him when she was in junior high school.)  Too many of Boone's hits were white-bread rip-offs of other artists with a different shade of skin.  Then, too, the guy used to baptize folks in his swimming pool.  And now he's fear-mongering folks in commercials on cable teleision.  Sheesh.

Anyway, here's one of his hits from 1957.

And now Mr. Penniman shows us just how it should be done.
