"Good Golly, Miss Molly" is a #rocknRoll song first recorded in 1956 by American musician #LittleRichard and released in January 1958 as #Specialty single 624, and later on Little Richard in March 1958. The song, a #jumpBlues, was written by #JohnMarascalco and producer #RobertBumpsBlackwell. 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.

I had no idea Little Richard was so passionate and eloquent outside the realm of music. He could be speaking about the current situation in the US and other nations under thread of religious fascism. We could use him today in our fight against the far-right.

“I am the innovator. I am the originator. I am the emancipator. I am the architect of rock 'n' roll!”
