Favorite song by Little Richard?

[NightTrain]

[Systematic Chaos]

1. Um, they all kinda sound the same to me....

Yes, I understand that we needed the early pioneers of rock-n-roll to get us to where we are today and all that, but IMO they took a couple of basic song structures and ran them totally into the ground.

7. Then why don't you simply keep out of this thread and...

...let those of us who enjoy Little Richard have some fun?

First that guy in the Beach Boys thread, and now this dude. I swear, some people...!

2. A lot of his sound very much the same to me, too, but it's still at least

a good sound.

I chose "Lucille." Always loved that one. For some of the others, I tend to favor covers by Elvis and Paul McCartney (with the Beatles), though that may be because I knew those versions first.

Little Richard is and was a trip, dude!

3. A Wop Bop A Loo Bop A Wop Bam Boom.

Tutti Frutti oh rooti whooooooooo

Long Tall Sally's great too, but I actually prefer the Beatles' cover on that one, proving that McCartney was able to pull off what both Elvis and Pat Boone had failed miserably at.

4. The most painful sound alive is Pat Boone covering

Tutti Frutti

with that white bread "womp bomp a looba "

5. Me and Little Richard are from the same home town...
