Our Take

Little Richard is the original wild child of rock and roll, with his iconic pompadour and flamboyant performances setting the stage for generations of artists to come. His Greatest Hits album is a whirlwind tour through his explosive career, packed with hits that will have you shimmying and shaking from start to finish.

From the rollicking piano rolls of "Good Golly Miss Molly" to the frenzied screams of "Tutti Frutti," Little Richard's unique blend of rhythm and blues, gospel, and rockabilly is on full display here. His unmistakable voice soars over each track, leaving no doubt as to why he's considered a true pioneer of the genre.

Songs like "Long Tall Sally" and "Keep A-Knockin'" showcase his raw energy and infectious charisma, while slower ballads like "The Girl Can't Help It" reveal a softer, more vulnerable side to this larger-than-life performer. Each track is a masterclass in showmanship, with Little Richard's larger-than-life personality shining through in every note.

Ultimately, Little Richard's Greatest Hits is a testament to his enduring legacy in the world of music. His influence can be heard in everyone from The Beatles to Prince, and this album serves as a reminder of the sheer brilliance and joy that he brought to the world. So put on your dancing shoes, crank up the volume, and let the legendary Little Richard take you on a wild ride through rock and roll history.
