"Little Richard has always been one of my favourites. His songs are timeless classics and this cd has some of his best. Keep Knockin is one of my all time favourites."

Re-Makes From Start To End

"I don't know whether the 5 stars awarded by another reviewer is due to not being old enough to recall the original Little Richard hits, or simply because that person finds each selection enjoyable on its own merits.



If the latter - well - that's the reviewer's prerogative. If, on the other hand, it's based on the belief that they ARE the original versions, I have to burst his bubble by pointing out they are re-makes.



Like Bill Haley & His Comets, there seems to be a glut on the market of re-done Little Richard stuff which, if that's OK with a buyer, no problem. After all, there are no original versions around of Mozart playing his best pieces [or even re-makes, come to think of it]. But when an outfit tries to pass off a compilation as his best, without informing you they are not the original versions - that's a no-no.



There ARE better Little Richard CDs available and these are suitably reviewed as such.
