A partly incorrect writing credit; John Marascalco only rewrote the lyrics to a song called "I Got It" (credited to Little Richard alone) which had already been recorded but was unreleased at the time. I'll add some more info & references soon. |

"'''She's Got It'''" is a 1956 song by [[Little Richard]], written by [[John Marascalco]] and Little Richard. The song was first issued as single in October, reaching No. 9 on Billboard's R&B chart, and was then included on Richard's debut album on Specialty Records ''[[Here's Little Richard]]''.<ref>Larry Birnbaum ''Before Elvis: The Prehistory of Rock 'n' Roll'' - 2013 - 0810886383- Page 337 “She's Got It” is one of the clearest examples of the twelve-bar verse-and-refrain structure in Little Richard's repertoire, with Richard singing the melody of a boogie-woogie bass line in the third and fourth measures of each verse.

Clearly director Frank Tashlin is making sure the Tarzan of jungle music is staying in his tree. But with Little Richard's next number, rock 'n'roll loses its irrelevance and steps right into the heart of square culture. Ashe sings “She's Got It,” Jerri Jordan sashays back and forth ...</ref>
