Tutti Frutti Scandal – Little Richard's Raw Original & the Rip-Off

From a Greyhound bus station kitchen in 1955, Little Richard banged out the explosive 'A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop-a-lop-bam-boom!' while washing dishes. What started as a raunchy, suggestive anthem with lyrics like 'Tutti Frutti, good booty' was quickly cleaned up by Dorothy LaBostrie to become rock 'n' roll's wild breakthrough hit. But success came with a price: terrible record deals, publishing rights sold for just $50, and covers by Pat Boone and Elvis that outsold the original—leaving the true King of Rock 'n' Roll ripped off by the music industry machine.Sponsored by: CampfireShoppe.comCheck out Music History Cafe on YouTube

The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene (Full Audiobook) Robert Greene Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this multi-million-copy New York Times bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control – from the author of The Laws of Human Nature.In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum.Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”).
