RIP Little Richard


The Buscher

Recommended Posts

It's odd, but given his fame I've listened to very little Little Richard. I obviously know the big ones - Tutti Frutti, Good Golly Miss Molly, Lucille etc (of which Lucille is the best) but probably only about five or six songs all told. I also by chance came across his cover of I Saw Her Standing There from the late 60s, which is excellent. It's a bit more like the sort of thing you imagine the likes of Wilson Pickett or whoever doing:

There's very good stuff in there if you like the style. I'd skip the gospel stuff but that's me. Obviously most people know his hits from his first albums but there's good stuff in the late 60s/early 70s. A little bit more soul, but good stuff.
