On his 1957 debut, Little Richard Penniman was serving The King notice that he wasn't the only one who could make Rock
music roll. Little Richard possessed an infectious energy that was almost impossible to ignore, even for a wallflower at
the high school dance. It?s during his most high energy numbers (such as "Tutti Frutti" and "Rip It Up") that he is
unstoppable. Richard sings and shouts with the fervor of a gospel choir. While his slower numbers are certainly decent
enough, these tend to be average quality songs that simply aren't as memorable as his barn burners. And thankfully,
there are enough of those on HERE'S LITTLE RICHARD to keep the party going from beginning to end. Favorite Tracks:
"Tutti Frutti", "Long Tall Sally", "Rip It Up" & "She's Got It".
