Richard Wayne Penniman (December 5, 1932 – May 9, 2020), better known as Little Richard, was an American singer, songwriter, and musician. He was an influential figure in popular music and culture for seven decades. Nicknamed "The Innovator, The Originator, and The Architect of Rock and Roll", Penniman's most celebrated work dates from the mid-1950s, when his charismatic showmanship and dynamic music, characterized by frenetic piano playing, pounding back beat and raspy shouted vocals, laid the foundation for rock and roll. Penniman's innovative emotive vocalizations and uptempo rhythmic music also played a key role in the formation of other popular music genres, including soul and funk, respectively. He influenced numerous singers and musicians across musical genres from rock to hip hop; his music helped shape rhythm and blues for generations to come. (Wikipedia)
"The Innovator, The Originator, and The Architect of Rock and Roll", Little Richard was one of the founding fathers of rock and roll. He made his reputation with Specialty Records, although he had recorded for other record labels before that, without success. Richard signed with Specialty in 1955 and became a big star upon the release of his first Specialty single, "Tutti Frutti". He had several other hits after that, but at the height of his fame in 1957 he became a born again Christian and quit performing rock and roll. He eventually did return to rock and roll, and recorded a few more songs for Specialty in 1964. This three cd box set includes all the songs Richard recorded for Specialty, plus some alternate takes, rehearsals and demos. These are among the most important recordings from the early days of rock and roll and also among the best. (Amazon)
This 6 CD boxset of Little Richard's Specialty Session contains many outtakes of his greatest hits..for instance, Long Tall Sally has different interesting alternate versions of the outtakes. They have the the outtakes and the master tracks in there. It's interesting to hear how he sings Long tally sally in a slower version. Heeby jeebies outtakes sounded like a Demo of Tutti Frutti. You can hear how they are doing the recording sessions with some false takes. If you take this boxset, you are missing out on the vocal genius of this legend's legend. His voice is at it's best here..Raw, powerful and Rock & Roll!!
