Story & Background
"Here's Little Richard", despite being a compilation of his early singles for Specialty Records, crystallises the incendiary sound that made him famous. The most iconic episode linked to its genesis is undoubtedly that of "Tutti Frutti". Recorded in the legendary J&M Studio in New Orleans, the original version of the lyrics was too explicit to be released, a cathartic cry of sexual joy and non-sense. It was only thanks to the intervention of producer Bumps Blackwell, who hastily recruited songwriter Dorothy LaBostrie during a lunch break, that the lyrics were toned down. This rewritten version, while maintaining Richard's wild energy and vocal exuberance intact, became his first national hit, defining the standard for rock 'n' roll and ensuring the album an eternal place in music history.
