Re: Little Richard
I’m surprised but only because, for some reason, I thought he already was

Re: Little Richard
I thought he would have have been much older than that. Like wilks_bfc I thought he was already long dead and buried!

Re: Little Richard
My all time favourite rock n roll artist. What a voice, what a performer: I saw him live in 1964 on a multi artist bill, he stole the show completely. He influenced Elvis, the Beatles and many others, a true modern music icon. RIP to a great rocker!!

Re: Little Richard
One of the original rock n roll greats
'Lucille' and 'Long Tall Sally' , 2 of my favourites from that genre.

Re: Little Richard
Little Richard was genuinely one of those guys that was able, very successfully, to cross over from rock and roll, rocking blues, rhythm and blues, rhythm and soul and just plain soul. This track was, amazingly, recorded in the UK. https://youtu.be/vSmnPV7bbS4

I saw Little Richard three times, once in Burnley at what is now the Mechanics. He put on a fantastic show each time. RIP Richard

Re: Little Richard
R.I.P. Little Richard ..A fantastic performer in his day.. A sad loss to the music industry.
Re: Little Richard
I'd be surprised if there is much Okeh stuff left to publish and Specialty stuff likewise. Columbia Special Products have done a fair amount of reissuing the "race" label recordings from the 50s and 60s of a fair chunk of Okeh stuff but you never know. It is amazing what turns up.basil6345789 wrote: ↑Sat May 09, 2020 4:45 pmI read that somewhere in the can there is at least an album's worth of r and b stuff (Like I Don't Wanna Discuss It) just waiting for us!
Re: Little Richard
Saw him, Jerry Lee Lewis & Chuck Berry at Wembley Arena about 1997/98
Re: Little Richard
Basil, there could be some VeeJay stuff still in the can.

Re: Little Richard
Foreverly, that's exactly the same gig that I was at then, Bradford 63,, with the Everlys and the Stones opening the show. I went on a coach with my girlfriend, who became my first wife: I was always a massive Everly Brothers fan and they were great, but Little Richard was incredible to see live.

After watching us beat Villa 4-2 in November 1966, with Lochhead scoring all 4, I saw Little Richard at Nelson Imp that evening.
He was wild!

It was from that period when he wasn't complete shite. Must be 30 years since he drove that bus off the cliff.

Re: Little Richard
I'm sure I read somewhere that the Nelson Imp once cancelled a booking from a London agent, because it clashed with Colne Swimming Club's annual Dinner/Dance. The booking was for Frank Sinatra ....
