Here's Little Richard, Little Richard, LP

The enigmatic Little Richard burst on the rock & roll scene with a succession of high-energy recordings in the mid 1950s. Fueled by an unfettered New Orleans backbeat, he combined gospel fervor and orgasmic delight in equal doses, hammering the piano keys with barely checked passion. HERE'S LITTLE RICHARD contains a number of Richard's essential performances, including "The Girl Can't Help It," "Tutti Frutti," and "Keep a Knockin'," with almost every track an integral part of pop history.
