 (1 Customer Review)
In contrast to his 1970 Reprise album THE RILL THING, which constituted a serious updating of his sound, complete with a brace of new songs, Little Richard's KING OF ROCK AND ROLL was deliberately less ambitious, built around covers of material that early-'70s audiences would have known well by way of Motown, the Rolling Stones, Three Dog Night, Creedence Clearwater Revival, et al, including "Brown Sugar," "The Way You Do the Things You Do," "Joy to the World," "Dancing in the Street," and "Born on the Bayou." Its user-friendly song list aside, this ended up a pretty powerful and challenging record in its own right, with Richard putting his distinct spin on much of the material.
Liner Note Author: Gene Sculatti. King Of Rock And Roll Music Little Richard King Of Rock And Roll Songs King Of Rock And Roll Music King Of Rock And Roll Music Review Average Rating: (2 out of 5 stars)  Four great vocals
The title tune is '50s all over, despite a noticeable lack of acoustic piano. This one had "hit" written all over it. But it stayed an album cut. Richard in top form, doing it like no one else could.
Other strong entries, covers of "Brown Sugar" and "Born On The Bayou", plus the real standout, a new song, "Green Power", early '70s funk with a message - and an astonishing lead vocal. This was the single A-side - to no avail.
A henerally flat, over-compressed production; with a poorly mixed chorus on most cuts.

King Of Rock And Roll album
 $18.05 
Growing up among Afro-Americans in Berkeley, CA, Greek-American Johnny Otis (born John Veliotes) always identified strongly with people of color. Before he had attained the age of 20 he was gigging with black jazz bands throughout the Southwest, and eventually organized an ensemble deliberately patterned after Count Basie's orchestra. This highly charged album of historical musical artifacts documents ...

King Of Rock And Roll CD music
$18.79
This CD contains B.B. King's first ABC-Paramount studio efforts -- Mr. Blues (1962) and Confessin' the Blues (1965), respectively. While there are inevitable similarities between the projects, offering them back-to-back allows listeners an acute sense of King's rapid maturation and development during what was by all accounts the nexus of the guitarist/vocalist's career. The dozen-song Mr. Blues was a haphazard start for King with the contents taken from three different recording sessions in a 13-month period (March 1, 1962 through April 11, 1963). Based on the results, the artist was being presented ...

King Of Rock And Roll songs
$18.99
This release follows the heels of Heatbox’s critically acclaimed debut album Entertainment and provides further evidence of a promising and long-lived career for this young and extremely talented performer. Although making noises and sounds with his mouth since the age of ten, Heatbox hit the scene with Twin Cities-based funk, rock and blues group Root City Band. The group won several awards (including “Best Blues Band of the Twin Cities” in 2006) and Heatbox picked up a few of his own (1st place at the 2007 “Yo The Music” Minneapolis Beatbox Battle) before the two artists parted ways. Since then Heatbox has been writing new material, expanding his catalog of choice covers and performing to crowds throughout the country. Asked what it’s like to perform and tour as a solo act, Heatbox says ...

On a hot August night in 2009, Beyoncé performed in front of a small crowd at Wynn Las Vegas, documented here on two CDs and an accompanying DVD. The show is certainly a theatrical production worthy of Vegas, with Beyoncé and her large backing band energetically rolling through the singer's back catalog. On the portion of the set that begins on the second disc, she takes the crowd through her biography -- with plenty of spoken interludes and planned ...
