If you're of the opinion that doo-wop is incapable of truly kicking ass, I direct your attention to the Valiants' version of "Good Golly Miss Molly", the song made famous by Little Richard. Guess what? The Valiants' version was released in 1957, and Little Richard's was released on January 13, 1958. Both were produced by Bumps Blackwell, the co-writer of the song, and Little Richard's was actually recorded first. While there's no debating his is the definitive version, I think you'll agree, the Valiants' version truly kicks ass.
