Listening to the 2012 remastered release of the 1957 album "Here's Little Richard" his debut long play. Richard had been recording singles for four years by this time. Recorded over the period of September 1955-Octobr 1956.

There really was a "Long Tall Sally," but she was not a transvestite as sometimes reported. Little Richard explained that Sally was a friend of the family who was always drinking whiskey - she would claim to have a cold and would drink hot toddies all day. He described her as tall and ugly, with just two teeth and cockeyed. She was having an affair with John, who was married to Mary, who they called "Short Fat Fanny." John and Mary would get in fights on the weekends, and when he saw her coming, he would duck back into a little alley to avoid her. http://www.songfacts.com/detail.php?id=1171

Even with the staccato eighth notes and words to boot, Pat Boone really had to reach for this one.
