Biography

Richard Wayne Penniman, known by the stage-name Little Richard, debuted with one of the most important songs in the history of rock'n'roll with "Tutti Frutti" (1955), which famously started with a shout along the lines of "a-wom-bomp-a-woom-op-a-womp-bam-boom!". It was recently named by the British music magazine Mojo as the single record that changed music more than any other. "Long Tall Sally"… Read more in Amazon's Little Richard Store

Editorial Reviews

With his opening "Awop-bop-a-loo-mop-alop-bam-boom," Little Richard exploded into the American consciousness of the mid-fifties and established the rules and foundations of rock ‘n’ roll in the process. Before his self-imposed exile from popular music in 1957, the outrageously flamboyant performer released a galvanizing stream of spine-tingling classics that have justly earned him the title "The Architect of Rock ‘n’ Roll." This album features SIX ELECTRIFYING TOP 40 HITS, including TWO #1 SMASHES: "Long Tall Sally" and "Lucille."

3.0 out of 5 stars All commonly available 1964 recordings, March 11, 2011
This review is from: Architect of Rock & Roll (Audio CD)
[Based upon Amazon.com sample listening].

Some fun remakes of his own hits from an earlier decade plus a new tune written by the co-writer of many of his '50s hits, John S. Marascalco, who along with the uncredited Harry Nillson, contributed the all-out rocker, "Groovy Little Suzy", to the mix. (If you love this song, check out the longer version on the "Wild And Franticf Little Richard" vinyl album on Modern records, from 1967).

For longtime fans...this CD is of no use.

One wonders why record labels do not seek out other presumptive "Public Domain" Little Richard cuts?
