MUSIC URBAN LEGEND<\/span><\/u>: Pat Boone’s recording of Little Richard’s “Tutti Frutti” resulted in the lyrics being sanitized. <\/p>\n

In a recent Music Urban Legends Revealed<\/a>, we took a look at the misconception that Pat Boone changed Fats Domino’s “Ain’t That a Shame” to “Isn’t That a Shame.”<\/p>\n
