Our Take

Little Richard's "Original British Hits" is a rollicking ride through the early days of rock 'n' roll, showcasing the larger-than-life personality and infectious energy that made Richard Penniman a true musical icon. From the timeless classics like "Good Golly Miss Molly" to the lesser-known gems like "Long Tall Sally," this collection is a must-have for any fan of 50s music.

The album opens with the electrifying "Tutti Frutti," a song that catapulted Little Richard to stardom and set the stage for the wild ride that follows. His signature raspy vocals and pounding piano work are on full display, proving why he's often hailed as one of the greatest performers of all time.

Tracks like "Lucille" and "Rip It Up" offer a glimpse into Richard's rebellious side, with lyrics that celebrate the thrill of youth and the joy of living life to the fullest. And let's not forget the iconic "Keep A Knockin'," a song that still sounds fresh and exhilarating more than six decades after its release.

Overall, "Original British Hits" is a reminder of why Little Richard will always be remembered as one of the pioneers of rock 'n' roll. His music is a joyful celebration of life, love, and the sheer thrill of making music. So go ahead, crank up the volume and let Little Richard's infectious spirit sweep you off your feet.
