Saturday Music Post - Good Golly Miss Molly

"Good Golly, Miss Molly" was written in 1956 by John Marascalco and Robert "Bumps" Blackwell -- the latter of whom is best known for producing Little Richard, Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, Lloyd Price, and Sly and the Family Stone, among others. I believe it was at least partially in conjunction with Little Richard, who claimed to have contributed the lyric "sure like to ball," substituting it for a milder line now lost to history. 

"Miss Molly" has been a standard cover almost since it was released in 1958. You can see some of them in today's post at The Faculty Lounge.
