Caught the end of Banstand 50 tonight on VH1. Little Richard IS the Originator-brought the house down with Good Golly and Keep A Knockin-Pointer Sisters with June back in group backed him and the Bangles, Sheila E etc in the band...Richard has said his last tour was his last tour. What a tremendous,grossly underacknowleged performer.

I have a few things by Little Richard,
a few uptempo stompers on (uk)Columbia/his 60s Okeh material.
But without a doubt,
for a guy that is known primarily on his screaming and fantastic preformances all round,Just get into his other Okeh and earlier stuff on Speciality etc,
and listen to one very soulful,
very deep,emotional guy,
as he mixes it all along with touches of that fine gospel voice of his as well.
Little Richard
Superb(andthensome).

I heard that Richard was retiring--anyone else heard this?
Best,
