DJ360 6,730 Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 Indeed. A controversial but hugely influential figure. Out of many fab tunes.. this one remains my fave. That driving unstoppable intro and the glorious singing.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

annswabey 599 Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 Little Richard has always been one of my great favourites. Good Golly Miss Molly for me is the best, followed closely by Lucille Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Oztalgian 3,296 Posted May 10, 2020 Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 When looking at Michael Jackson, how many see echoes of Little Richard? I agree with DJ360 Lucille was certainly one of his best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sue B 48 1,226 Posted May 10, 2020 Report Share Posted May 10, 2020 Being the youngest of eleven children I have a wide musicale taste I love all the 50s rock & roll but Little Richard must be my all time favourite. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jopip 31 Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 I saw Little Richard at the Odeon in 1963. There were some great acts in that show (Bo Diddly, The Everly Brothers, & a new group with a strange name The Rolling Stones) but little Richard stole the show. He jumped off the stage, running up & down the Aisles & ripping his shirt off. He even had time to sign his autograph during his performance. A great night. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonab 1,644 Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 I also saw Little Richard at the Odeon - must have been the same 1963 performance. His music wasn't part of my usual choice or selection but, I must say I really enjoyed it. He was a great showman. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAVIDW 1,683 Posted May 12, 2020 Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 I was there too and remember Little Richard running up and down the aisles. He didnt appear on the advertising bills and was a last minute addition to the tour . My favourite act of the night though was Bo Diddley . I wrote in my diary that the Stones were crap ! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
radfordred 6,284 Posted May 18, 2020 Report Share Posted May 18, 2020 Crikey if you have told me he died 30 years ago, I would have believed you. Apparently old Rich was quite well endowed, he was know as “Big Dick” amongst his close friends? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
