Certain quintessential artists, I’m ashamed to admit, go overlooked from time to time. And sometimes, that “time to time” duration, which started out as an innocent week or two, grows into a decade of selfish neglect.
I’d seen and heard of Little Richard in the wee days of my youth, and his story was one of the first that drew sympathy and frustration (as far as sympathy for the record industry goes), even at an early age. He was famous, but not as famous as he should have been, if you catch what I’m throwing down.
Little Richard!!! is both an essential compilation of this master’s incredible work, as well as an album in my parents’ record collection. When I get back to Los Angeles, Little Richard will FINALLY get my enthusiastic and undivided attention.

Everything that Paul McCartney learned about singing rock & roll came from Little Richard. One listen to Slow Down which is the flip side to Matchbox. Nice Post
I can’t get enough Little Richard right now! I’m constantly questioning myself as to why I haven’t explored him with more enthusiasm before.
He is one “Bad Ass Singer” I had a chance to see him live in the 70’s and his show knocked me out (as if I needed any help in the 70’s)
Ha!! That’s awesome!
