LITTLE RICHARD "the very best of..." cd,2008.
if the 'big bang' was Sun Records and on the first day He created Elvis Presley, then on the second day He created Chuck Berry,Fats Domino and Little Richard before lunchtime and Buddy Holly after lunch...
this stuff is R+R/R+B at its sexiest,raunchiest,most lethal IMO, they say Jerry Lee 'the killer' Lewis knew how to tinkle the ivories at breakneck speed,well, Little Richard is better IMO,
he wrote and sung some of the greatest rock songs from the 1950s, and its pretty hard not to use the term 'rock and roll' without mentioning 'long tall sally', 'lucille', 'good golly miss molly' and 'rip it up' in the same breath...this guy was Mr.Rock'n'Roll IMO,until he turned his back on it all whilst in Australia in the mid 1960s, he threw all his 'bling' into the Sydney Harbour and vowed to "leave it all behind and serve the Lord"...he did, he became a minister and there he remained for several decades, only coming out on rare occasions to re-live the old glory days of rock And Roll...
not sure how old he is now(probably around 78ish i guess) and last year he toured the US with fellow 1950s rock survivor Fats Domino..."hey hey,my my,rock and roll will never die!"
oh yeh, as a footnote....
was watching a McCartney interview some years ago, he said the Beatles met LR in the States when they toured there,Macca asked him how he gets his voice to high when he does those "oooo!" sounds, Richard's reply was...."i 'll show you how to go "oooo!" if you come back to my motel room" LOL,it was then The Beatles realised he was Gay LMAO!!!!!
