How to play Tutti Frutti on ukulele

The strumming pattern that fits is the busy upbeat 4/4: d – d u d u d u. It rolls along at a brisk pace of around 168 bpm with a light swing. On this page the song is in F major. Chord-wise this is an easy one: everything sits at the rookie level. Swing the eighths and hammer the backbeat for that rock and roll drive.

Biography

Richard Wayne Penniman (December 5, 1932 – May 9, 2020), better known by his stage name Little Richard, was an American singer-songwriter and pianist. He was a prominent figure in popular music for more than seven decades and is often associated with the early development of rock and roll. Much of his most influential work dates from the mid-1950s, when his energetic performances and music, characterised by fast-paced piano playing, a strong backbeat, and powerful raspy vocals, contributed to the emerging rock and roll sound.
