The song being in the style of rock and roll features many blues features such as the 12 bar blues chord pattern which it is written in. The saxophone solo towards the end of the song is like the improvisation section in traditional blues music, this is a well known main feature from blues music. this was part of the style that influences the next generation of rock music this song signaled the beginning of Rock and Roll.

The song which was written while working as a dishwasher includes a blues feature of scat singing Richards classic line ' a wop bop a lu bop, a wopbam boom!' which is a verbal rendition of the drum pattern that he'd imagined, He felt you could express your emotions without singing actual words. This helped Little Richard come on to the music scene and he decided he wanted to be bigger and better than Fats Domino. Little Richard knew that he had to let Boone record it as people wouldn't have accepted the song if he sang it. Little Richard sang with a husky voice where as Pat Boone sang it completely British, reserved and not the same staccato style. This version was completely different as it didn't have the same momentum and the overall sound was not as good as the way it was meant to be sung.

When Pat Boone re recorded the song it became a 'national treasure' and was accepted because it was performed by a white artist. They introduced his music slowly and it didn't meet the requirements of everyone's taste as some people were very racist and didn't accept it. In the later 1950s Little Richard got signed to a big record company and he was the first big black recording artist but they didn't publish his music straight away, they re-did his early song 'Tutti Frutti' and had a white person sing it at first so that they could introduce the music slowly to the white audience, but in my opinion Little Richard's version had an authenticity and electricity that could not be re-created.
