 From Route publishers (always timely with their reminders!) This is about as perfect as it is possible to get!

* if it says it won't play click it anyway! IT'S LYING!

 Born as Richard Penniman in Macon, Georgia on this day in 1932 "Rip It Up" is a song written by Robert Blackwell and John Marascalco. It was first released by Bill Haley and his Comets and Little Richard in 1956 (as performed here). The Little Richard version hit number one on the R&B Best Sellers chart for two weeks and peaked at number seventeen on the pop chart.
