Of all the original 50s rock ‘n’ roll stars, none was more flamboyant than Richard Wayne Penniman. Now a game octogenarian still intermittently performing (he headlined a Las Vegas weekender in March 2013), Richard has had a chequered career peppered with retirements and comebacks, fluctuations between God and Mammon and many a misjudged recording; his latter years dogged by a dodgy hip. At his peak he was the most dynamic rock ‘n’ roll extrovert on record and stage, which obscures the fact he was also the most mellifluous vocalist of the pack when he calmed down enough to sing a blues, gospel or soul ballad.
Our 64-track retrospective features all of his 1955-58 mind-blowers plus compelling evidence that he was already the Georgia Peach before his international hits, and was far from subdued in the hiatus before his resurrection as a rock ‘n’ roll icon in the 60s. Even during his sabbatical with the church he recorded stirring music and still couldn’t resist uncredited workouts with his former road band, The Upsetters. Persons of a nervous disposition or delicate temperament should be aware these Little Richard highlights can induce unbridled excitement and erratic behaviour.
