Little Richard - Little Richard Is Back- And There's A Lot Of Shakin' Goin' On

Little Richard's 1964 rock 'n' roll comeback album!

Known as "the Architect of Rock 'n' Roll," the flamboyant rhythm and blues extrovert, Little Richard, made an incredible impact with unorthodox piano playing and rasping, shouted vocals, yielding a series of pivotal hits in the mid-1960s. But he abandoned secular music for gospel following a tour of Australia in 1952.

Lured back into rock 'n' roll by promoter Don Arden, his U.K. tour, featuring The Beatles as support, Little Richard Is Back was his comeback set for Vee Jay, his voice now deeper and seasoned; the range of covers are tackled with plenty of pep, and original "Groovy Little Suzy" was co-written by Harry Nilsson. All hail the king!
