BIRP 118 - featured artist LITTLE RICHARD

Blue Island Radio Podcast

On today's episode Brandon pays tribute to the "architect" and real king of rock n roll, Little Richard, whose song Tutti Frutti was recorded 65 years ago this month. The song blew the doors off of its predecessors and laid the foundation for all rock songs that would follow. He also opened the doors for gender bending rock stars like David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Prince and more.

You'll hear some hits, some slightly more obscure Little Richard songs, as well as music from some of his influences like Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Esquerita, Billy Wright and Roy Brown.
