Who sang "Good Golly Miss Molly?"?

Question

More than one performer recorded this song. Who were they?

Answer 1

Good Golly, Miss Molly" is a hit rock 'n' roll song first recorded in 1956 by the American musician Little Richard. The song, a 12-bar blues, was written by John Marascalco and producer Robert "Bumps" Blackwell. Although it was first recorded by Little Richard, Blackwell produced another version by The Valiants, who imitated Little Richard, but sang the song even faster. Although the Valiants' version was released first, Little Richard had the hit. Like all his early hits, it quickly became a rock 'n' roll standard and has subsequently been covered by hundreds of artists.

In 1966 the song again became a hit when Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels recorded it in a medley with "Devil With A Blue Dress On".

The opening line, "Good golly Miss Molly, Sho' like to ball" predates the use of ball as a synonym for sexual intercourse and refers to going to dances, or "balls". In modern slang, it would be "sure likes to party".

Creedence Clearwater Revival recorded "Miss Molly" with slightly changed lyrics. Instead of the result of the gift of a diamond ring being, "When she hugged me and kissed me, made me ting-a-ling-a-ling", John Fogerty sang, "Would you pardon me if it's a nineteen-carat golden thing?"
