- “Tutti-Frutti” (1955) A-wop-bom-a-loo-mop-a-lomp-bom-bom. Little Richard wrote the greatest (maybe the first) rock & roll lyric to describe a drum fill he wanted.
- “Long Tall Sally (The Thing)” (1956) "Tutti Frutti" specialized in lascivious nonsense but its sequel "Long Tall Sally" barrelled forth on lusty innuendo.
- “Slippin’ and Slidin'” (1956) "Another cat put 'Slippin' and Slidin'' out before I did, Eddie Bo, and it was a hit by him in New Orleans," Richard told Rolling Stone in 1970.
- “Ready Teddy” (1956) "Ready, set, go man go." That opening lyric is a starter pistol and Richard's voice is the blast signaling that the race is on, sending singer and musicians sprinting past one another toward the end of the chorus.

- 'Tutti-Frutti' (1955) A rock 'n' roll foundation, and a seminal moment in the history of the music, "Tutti-Frutti" sweeps in and delivers a knockout punch that left fans reeling at the time.
- 'Long Tall Sally' (1956) Little Richard's first Top 10 hit (and his biggest R&B single, topping the chart for eight weeks) remains one of rock 'n' roll's most influential early songs.
- 'Good Golly, Miss Molly' (1958) Little Richard continued to make records in the '50s and, after a brief break, into the '60s and beyond. But "Good Golly, Miss Molly" was his last great hit, a blues-based piano-driven number brimming with New Orleans flavor.
- 'Lucille' (1957) Little Richard's last No. 1 R&B hit is one of his best and also one of his most original. Fueled by a more measured tempo than most of his classic hits, "Lucille" tunes down the frenzied rock 'n' roll and replaces it with a bluesier shuffle that incorporates a stop-start verse structure.
