Alongside Chuck Berry, Fats Domino and Bo Diddley, he was one of the first Black rock\u2019n\u2019roll musicians to win over white audiences and impose a unique style that influenced generations. Behind that revolutionary sound was a band \u2014 The Upsetters \u2014 and this 1956 bass. Let\u2019s take a closer look at one of the instruments that helped shape rock\u2019n\u2019roll\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Little Richard set the tone and image of rock\u2019n\u2019roll for artists such as The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Elton John, and David Bowie. He performed some of the greatest classics of the genre, including *Tutti Frutti* and *Long Tall Sally*. In 1956, The Upsetters joined Little Richard and played with him for nearly eighteen months. In the band, Olsie Robinson played bass \u2014 the very Gibson EB heard on Little Richard\u2019s Specialty Records sessions. You can hear it on some of the greatest rock\u2019n\u2019roll hits ever recorded and spot it in several filmed performances, including the legendary *Tutti Frutti*!
