The Beatles' first cover version of a Little Richard song, pre-dating the medley 'Kansas City / Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!' by more than five months. Little Richard's music had a considerable influence on the early Beatles and his vocal style was admired by Paul McCartney who, in this cut of Long Tall Sally - recorded, amazingly in just one take - arguably outshines his mentor. The song was written by Enotris Johnson, Richard Penniman (Little Richard) and Robert Blackwell and was originally released in March 1956. Other Little Richard numbers which featured in the Beatles' pre-famed stage repertoire included Lucille, Good Golly Miss Molly, Ooh! My Soul, Tutti Frutti and Kansas City / Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey!
