Here's Little Richard

Couple fun songs? Idk

Classic, but doesn’t hold up today. The repetition really drones on.

best OOOer out there

Album number 1: Besides the classics I forgot about "Can't Believe You Want to Leave". Hearing "Long Tall Sally" brought me back to the movie Backbeat. I wasn't feeling 50's music tonight but I'll objectively give it a go. January 12, 2021

Solid

Well known songs. Good to hear. But his shout/singing style is a bit much after a few songs to me.

5

Klassiker. En jävel till sångare och för 50-talet, vilt och galet. Kommer troligen inte lyssna på den igen. Bäst: Long Tall Sally

Rock clássico. É meio casantivo

Was very short, but packed with soul and helped me start my morning right (:

Klassiske låter, men stilen og tiåret er not my cup o' tea, blir fort lei.

Catchy

I'm pretty sure I heard some of these in Fallout games before. Not quite my style but I can see how this would have been a big deal.

Рок-н-ролл. Тутти-фрутти и это всё

Review: This album was not that great. It wasn’t bad but it definitely was not good. There were some good songs like Rip It Up and Can’t Believe You Want To Leave but there were also some pretty rough listens. The main downfall was that it sounded like every song sampled every song. There was just no originality between the tracks and it felt like he was just copy and pasting the same template and then changing a few things here and there. The vocals were very good though and you can tell he has a passion for his craft for sure.

It was ok, I can appreciate the impact on people like Prince (a certain texture in their voices) but the songs all kind of sound the same after awhile. I did like “Oh why”

This sounds like the music that would play at American bars back in the days not my fav Day 4 !

A product of its time, I guess. Sorta fun, but also sorta grating on the ears

Not my type. Too much chuck berry ypu can never tell.

An early example of Russian interference as Little Richard apparently mistook Sputnik burning through the sky as a sign from god and turned his back on rock and roll for the next 5 years...

HooOOooO?

Original rock and roll music. Having already listened to "Tutti Frutti" before, I did not have high expectations for this album, but honestly this isn't that bad. It turns out this is one of those albums where the most popular track ("Tutti Frutti") is one of the worst.

Not too impressed

Enjoyable but repetitive

stop little richard

Gives Elvis Vibes but not as good

65

it was fine

Old skool rock n roll

Not my cup of tea

Tracks are all very samey, reminded me of the music the band played in back to the future 1. Lol had a similar sound Not for me

thought Louis Prima was good, then quite liked Elvis Presley, now you're just taking the piss

I don't enjoy listening to "Rock and Roll", always makes me feel strangely unnerved. That said, I appreciate that Little Richard was a great performer and I can see why kids in the fifties would dig it. Not for me.

straight ass 2 stars

Interessant om echt vroege rock n roll te luisteren, maar niet echt mijn smaak

Yeah, this is great! Obviously older but this is the sort of thing I wanted from this project. I spent a lot of the time reading about him on Wikipedia. Weird guy!

I believe that it used to be really cool at that time, but considering my current vision of music this is only 2

probably a hit when it came out in like the 1950's, current era: kinda repetitive and annoying

Childish, predictable, proto-rock bullshit. One point for basically inventing the genre.

not the mood

albums this old are so difficult because i know this was probably incredible when it came out but im suffering from recency bias ready teddy is so good instrumentally but i dont feel like the lyrics are that good. vocally? his voice is great on all these songs but the lyrics are best when i ignore them and listen to his voice as another instrument the songs in the backhalf are so samey.. it feels wrong but i think this is a 2/5

Not a lot I would come back to on this one. Long tall sally is always a great listen though. I think little Richard should stop being little and become big like the rest of us.

Not really for me. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Thank god the tracks weren't that long because this was a bore to listen to. Can't recall any memorable moments barr the track "Oh Why?" which had some neat lyrics and a different structure. Only track that made my ears perk up for a brief moment. Everything else wasn't to my liking. Don't get me wrong, this is a skilled band but it just isn't for me. Like someone else said: "you had to be there." 2/5

Fun! An important part of music history, but it got a little repetitive.

I bet if I were 12-20 when this came out it would have blown my mind. Also definitely music to be dancing to. Otherwise we be I-IV-I maxxing.

Probably out of this world at the time.

Not great Richard

I don't think this is ever gonna be my style of music but I can respect this more some other albums in this style because at least Richard has a unique voice that brings a lot of energy to all these tracks. This still has all the problems that i have other early rock n roll albums have with a lot of the songs here sounding very similar or the exact same in some cases and I'll literally never return to this but I can appreciate the vocal talent on display here and see why this is as influential of an album as it is.

This was fun, all the songs are pretty groovy. I think I enjoyed this more than the elvis album. But it's not really my sort of music and I'm not sure I'll be coming back to it 2.5

It's historic and influential but I think don't need to hear it again.

too Much for one sitting. Probably good in small doses

This was alright, some bops, a lot of microphone clipping

A lot of the songs sounded the same but it was kinda fun.

I was expecting this one to be more fun, but it just passed right by me. No shade to ol' Richard because he has undeniable 1957 swag -- though Louis Prima remains king in the 50s Sauce department.

Solid for the time and absolutely the backbone of basically all rock music we enjoy today. However, it is genuinely all the same and it wears me down so fast. Great for dancing, just maybe not for me at home.

Some great tunes and obviously seminal, but as an album it's bland.

I can recognise the importance and significance of this album without particularly loving it. It's not really for me, but it helped influence a lot of music that was for me. Listening to it was enjoyable and I'm glad that I have.

It sounds good but isn't something I would listen to

Hugely significant album in terms of the development of rock and roll, but it’s not my vibe. Thank you for your service, Little Richard.

Too old school for my taste but I didn’t hate it.

Obviously massively influential album with how many songs sound like this but realistically it's the same song over and over again. Upbeat can be fun but a whole album of it is a struggle for me. Respectful 2

Cool.

I know it’s important, but I could never hear any of this again and be satisfied (2.5)

What do you want from me?

That's not usually the type of music I'll listen but Little Richard's contribution to music nowadays it's pretty clear. Great album

Just sort of boring. Incredible voice, absolutely incredible, but the song writing, while maybe standard for the time or even progressive, is so weak and obviously not his

Some good old rock n roll. Tracks like Tutti Frutti and Long Tall Sally are quite rightly classics and the piano driven, upbeat style is the blueprint for all here. Unfortunately that strength is also the album’s weakness, as it doesn’t stray at any point away from that and therefore all feels a bit too samey. Overall lots to enjoy, but not really a classic.

This sounded exactly like I imagined a Little Richard album would sound, but when you open with “Tutti Frutti”, the rest of it just falls into mediocrity.

Listening to this, I see the cultural influence and impact on American music. I just don't like it beyond its space-time context

2/5 While no doubt a historical and well-made fot its time, today a lot of the tracks feel a bit same-ey.

Was all right, but not quite my type of music. Listened a couple times, didn’t want to sing along though.

Sounds like every other 50s song

Omtrent som forventa

not bad but i just wasn’t really feeling it

I like the bluesy/jazz feel, but feel like I would appreciate Little Richard’s later work which has a more sultry feel over this album.

Probs crazy at the time

very much had to be there

I appreciate Little Richard's place and importance in music history. And if that's how I was rating these albums I'd give this a 5. But I'm rating on how well I personally like the album and music. And this is just not my style.

Literally groundbreaking, Rock & Roll stands on the shoulders of giants like Little Richard. I listened to a lot of music like this when I was younger, before I developed my own taste. These days, it’s tough to listen to this and not yearn for something a little more interesting. I feel like I could have just listened to Tutti Frutti 12 times and come away with a very similar experience. Listening to a record also means you miss the physicality of Little Richard’s performance. At this point, it’s really only interesting as a marker to show how far music has come.

My mom was born the year this album came out. It's crazy how society has evolved from there. Um, I didn't like this though. His voice attacks me. Top: Tutti Frutti Not Top: Jenny, Jenny

Chile whatever… love kennedy davenport ❤️

this wasn’t really my vibe, or maybe it wasn’t my vibe for 03:26 in the morning. man has a great voice tho.

I recognize its importance and its cultural impact on music worldwide. Still, I find it annoying.

it felt like one giant song

1) wail into mic for two minutes 2) sax solo 3) wail for two more minutes 4) rinse and repeat for 30 minutes If I didn't like the blues this would be a 1

It's aight 4/10

He’s great, just not my vibe

It's fun, but not one I'd feel compelled to revisit often. Its influence is undeniable. This doesn't change the fact you're basically listening to the same song 12 times.

Really not pleasant voice

It is very of the time and kinda same-same

Ass

I'm afraid I'll just never get into Rock n Roll, sorry Richard! I know, all the music I like would exist without this etc and so on, but I still cannot enjoy it, and my enjoyment is the only honest rating I can give

It's a good album overall, I just personally found myself bored after the first 3 songs and it's already not the music I naturally gravitate towards, It is fun though, and felt like a great representation of the Rock N' Roll of its time.

Es un album de epocas antiguas que no me sugiere nada. No es mi estilo de musica que pondria en cualquier lugar

😐

I understand his significance, but screaming the same thing 300 times is not good for my brain

Another oldie, hard to give it a proper rating. Not something I’d throw on and a lot of it sounded the same.

Oops, all 12 bar blues 2

I accept that he has influenced pretty much all the artists I love from the Beatles to Punk, for that I give it 2 stars. I can only imagine though that there was bugger all else to listen to back in the day because to me it's just bloody awful bollocks.

He was a groundbreaker, but the musical style just isn't my bag for the most part.

ok Little Richard, we got the idea about 3 songs in

It’s just not for me…I’m so sorry guys!!!

Ok 👍

Repetitive.

Feels like being in an American Diner in the UK in the 90s. Very soulful in places. All this 50s rock and roll sounds approximately the same, but I guess it worked.

Find it a bit annoying to be honest.

Infectious in a few spots but maybe the best parts are the parts with the least little Richard.

musikk har kommet en lang vei

This rating is not a reflection on my appreciation of his influence on rock ' n ' roll. Its just not an album i enjoy listening too.

Gøy, men ikke veldig spennende - var sikkert mer nyskapende når det kom. Alle låtene høres nesten like ut 🙃

Fett nok, interessant å sjekke ut og skjønner at det var viktig når det kom ut. Hørt i dag er det ikke sånn sykt spennende, og kommer nok ikke høre igjennom det flere ganger

That voice

"Here's Little Richard!" -Me presenting my meat to my girl while I'm standing naked at the foot of the bed, knowing damn well Little Richard will not meet her needs for the 14th consecutive time

Tutti Frutti cringe-ass songwriting, I don't like anything about this.

I see how this could be really influential but being honest this is just not my kind of music in the slightest. It’s very difficult for me to differentiate between each song, and though his voice is probably good on a more technical level, I just don’t like listening to it. Some of these songs are also sort of sickeningly upbeat. This is definitely not a bad album, just one super not suited to my taste. Fav songs: true, fine mama, she’s got it

There's energy and some good songs, but ultimately I don't think I'll be revisiting this album very often.

Not my style. Didn't even finish the album.

Many of the songs sounded similar to me. But I’ll give Lil Rick some credit, he can put some stank on it when he wants to

I feel like I don't want to rate this - I know it was super influential at the time but boooooy howdy I was ready for this to be over by about the fourth song

Long Tall Sally is pretty catchy, but this album just ain't my jam unfortunately. It's cool but yeah. 2/5 stars.

love the guys voice but all this sounds the same and is boring to my modern ears

Powerhouse, couldve died without this one.

I mean the record swings and bops and rocks. But do I really like it? Not really. It’s not bad (with the exception of Tutti Frutti which makes me want to smash the music player), it’s just not my thing.

Siis kyllähän tätä on ihan hauska kuunnella ja hittejä monet. Ei omaa musa makua kosketa nii ei nyt sitte mitää erikoista, mutta tietenki pitää ymmärtää sen arvo.

Classic but doesn't bite me.

While OG rock and roll is important to any related genre and Little Richard was phenomenally important artist, I have no interest in listening to this one. I've heard the hits so many times and as so many versions, the few songs on this record I don't already know can wait for another time when I have an interest in dusting off the progenitors.

pretty old and all of his songs sound the same.

4/10 - they all sounded the same

Certainly an impactful artist without whom most modern music wouldn't exist. I don't just hear Elvis and The Beatles on here, but also Beyoncé's Honey songs from Renaissance or Cowboy Carter on a song like True, Fine Mama. That said, his songs might be best enjoyed as standalone singles rather than as this repetitive and thematically rather dull album. The concept of "the album" as more than a collection of random songs must have been still at its infancy at the time, so I can't fault Little Richard too much for it. The lyrical repetitions and lack of a interesting theme do take away from my personal enjoyment though. However, I also recognize those repetitions to stem from the Blues genre, which plays a majoy role on the album besides the revolutionary Rock & Roll tracks. A lot of the songs sound the same to me, and I can't see myself seeking them out. I can envision couples in petticoats and suede shoes taking it away on the dancefloor; for them this music must have been purely magical. I, in the year 2025, however hardly feel any magic.

yup these are some little richard songs

Blues aren't my thing

I just don’t enjoy 50s music, it all sounds too dated. (with the exception of Frank Sinatra) This is slightly better than other music from this period, but still not good

Little Richard did not give me pumped at the gym. That being said, it’s classic old Timey feel good tunes.

I understand the pioneering role and historical importance, this is undeniably an album that helped shape rock music. But time has moved on, and for me, it just doesn’t resonate. There’s a lot of energy and raw attitude, but it feels more like a piece of music history than something I genuinely connect with. It’s clear that you probably had to be there, part of the generation where this was new and wild. Respect for what it was. But not something I’ll be revisiting. 2/5

No disrespect to Mr. Richard but this album did nothing for me... I was only able to find the "deluxe version " which included lots of demo takes of songs- it was a little interesting to listen to at first but by the end felt repetitive and uninteresting.

Un peu viellot

Tut og kjør. Kjente igjen flere låter enn jeg trodde jeg kom til. Gøy, men litt kjedelig over et helt album.

little richard was amazing because he had sexual relations with other men but then turned christian and started bashing gays. :( not really my thing but this is influential so you have to give it credit..long tally sally was paul mccartney's first ever song performed in public which is SO cool. 1 star because of influence and one more star bc of the queerness best song is tutti frutti

nothing special, all the songs sound similar but i enjoyed the album overall, it really shows how far music has come

Listened in the truck via YouTube Music. The audio quality varied between tracks as well as volume. Lots of short 3 minute or less songs with his typical high pitch squeals. You can definitely see where the Blue Brothers and late 70’s and 80’s rock artists got their saxophone solo inclinations from. All in all I’d like to return to this on a different medium and try listening again.

I'm sure I would have loved this 70 years ago

Obviously a classic and hugely influential, but much like Chuck Berry they stuck to a very specific formula until the music world past by.

I appreciate the history and significance of the album and would very happily listen to any individual song again but god some of them sound so similar it became a bit of a chore to listen to the whole thing. Favourite: Oh Why? Least: Jenny Jenny

Een interessant album, maar dan meer uit het perspectief van "zonder Little Richard geen Elvis en waarschijnlijk geen Beatles", minder in de zin dat de muziek me echt bij blijft. De muziek is ontzettend groovy en je kan nauwelijks stil blijven zitten tijdens het luisteren, daarnaast klinkt het minder gedateerd dan ik me kan herinneren (mogelijk een nieuwe remaster?), maar tegelijkertijd klinkt het alsof ik 12 keer naar hetzelfde nummer aan het luisteren ben en eerlijk gezegd was de repetitie van de nummers tijdens Tutti Frutti me al lichtelijk aan het irriteren. 2,5/5 naar beneden afgerond.

Niet helemaal mijn ding, maar wel wel relaxte achtergrondmuziek

Getting kinda tired of these old ass albums. They’re not bad, just kinda ehhh

This album was OK. Listened to the deluxe version, but I'll just base the review on the 1st disc since disc 2 was mostly outtakes. I think that Little Richard is talented as an artist. He has great presence/power in his voice, but the songs themselves are much too thin for me to rank the album higher. There are about 2-3 styles he shows up with, and every song is some variation of those flavors. There's tutti-frutti, Rip it up, and then slow. Like you can sing tutti-frutti over half of these songs and it will fit. Take me back 50-60 years and it might be a 4 or so, but for now. 2.5/5

A little one note. I think I just don't care for classic rock.

I recognized a few classics. Brought me back to the days of animal house. Fun listen but not my thing.

I’m sure it was very influential in its genre. Not really my kind of music.

When Lil Pump wrote Gucci Gang he didn't realize he had become the Little Richard of our generation. I would never listen to this again but at least they had fun.

Good vibes but a bit boring old rock ’n’ roll. Too bad the production sucks, the sharp sound makes it tougher to really enjoy.

Little Richard has a Big Voice! This album did not do anything for me. It jsut seemed like more or less the same song over and over for 40 minutes. I appreciate the time period and the music of that day but I’m more of a Dion Dimucci and Frankie Vallie kind of guy. And that’s not a race thing. I really wouldn’t listen to any of these ever again by choice. No notable songs that stuck out to me.

I hate to say it but this album kind of bored me. Little Richard was huge in the development of Rock and Roll but this album and some of the music at the time in general all sounded so similar. This album in particular was just blues song after blues song with similar feel. Again I can't diminish the influence this music had on later music that I would love, but this album got tiresome. And I have to grade it on my opinion. Highlights: Tutti Frutti Jenny, Jenny

I am not the biggest fan of bluesy rock n roll for the sole reason that every single song (or at least 90% of them) have the exact same chord progression, and so you already know what to expect you every time you listen to it. It becomes stale, boring and repetitive so quickly that it just does nothing for me. I get that its dance music, me listening to it while cooking isnt the intended setting for it. On the other hand, I wasn't at a rave when I listened to Exit Planet Dust and yet I loved it. But when its the same instruments playing the same chords and the only change is the lyrics, key and tempo, it falls flat for me. Credit where its due, apparently this was the first real use of 8th note piano in rock n roll and that is obviously now a staple of the genre. The performances were good and Little Richard has a fucking cracking voice. It just aint for me. Praying we get a Daydream Nation or Doolittle tomorrow so we at least get some different chord progressions lol Favourites - Can't Believe You Wanna Leave, Rip It Up

Fair play for recording the same song 12 times with slightly different lyrics and convincing everyone you’ve written one of the greatest albums of all time. Tutti Frutti (8/10) True, Fine Mama (6/10) Can’t Believe You Wanna Leave (7/10) Ready Teddy (7/10) Baby (6/10) Slippin’ and Slidin’ (7/10) Long Tall Sally (5/10) Miss Ann (6/10) Oh Why? (5/10) Rip It Up! (5/10) Jenny, Jenny (6/10) She’s Got It (6/10) 6.2/10

It all had to start somewhere. It's bluesy boogie woogie, and almost every song sound the same. I got through it, and will probably never listen to it again.

1. frutti - 2.5 2. mama - 1.5 3. leave - 1.5 4. teddy - 2 5. baby - 1.5 6. zlidin - 2 7. zally - 2.5 8. ann - 1.5 9. uuhy - 1 10. rip - 3 11. jenny - 1 12. got it - 1 13. baby too - 2

Various songs I recognize so definitely a very influential and classic album, but not something I would listen to for my personal taste.

Well I get how important this is to musical history and all but it was a bit same-y!

It was all the same song. A perfevtlt ok but quite repetitive song.

Mycket som lät likadant, men härligt sound

Fine

a classic, for sure. just not my vibe

I know it was revolutionary at the time. He is energetic. Not that interesting to me now.

Goodish but not something I’d put on.

Fun for one song, then loses it's charm for me.

Great in it's day

You can see why this was popular in dancehalls - as much dull nonsense, repetition, and the gross sense of a bad smell as eurotrash.

para nada mi tipo de música, debo darle puntos por su increíble voz, pero para nada voy a volver a escucharlo de nuevo.

As others have said here. Respect to the voice and the innovation of the time. But this is so dated now and all sounds the same. There’s only so much 12 bar blues a modern ear can take. Was probably a 5 star no skip album at the time. Not any more

Just sounds like 30 minutes of “Tutti Frutti.” Highly influential for sure, but not something I’d choose to listen to again.

2-3 dobri drugo e sve isto 2.5/5

nothing special.

Good album and good voice, not my usual taste but the fast tempo wants to make your feet regardless. 5/10.

Didn’t grab me Mid oldies music

I don't think I dislike this really but it's also just not interesting to me. Little Richard's energy and vocal talent is undeniable and just really enjoyable but I guess I don't care for the musical accompaniment much if at all, I feel like I'd be more into this sort of rock n roll thing if I had grown up with it. Saying this makes me flashback to this person who told me they grew up on Little Richard's music and how much it brought them joy and fun, which made his passing even more sad to this person. I wish I could share those same emotions about this album but ultimately, I don't :/

Blues/R&B, and a precursor to Rock and Roll. Always cool to hear where iconic songs like Tutti Frutti came from, but a lot of the songs on the album had a very similar beat/pattern that made everything feel a bit stale to me. The sax solos and riffs were always a highlight though.

All songs sounded the same.

Hope you like the three chord piano blues, because that's what you get here - in spades! The guy sure can sing though.

I don't mind a Little Richard song. Maybe even two. A whole album got really tiresome, though.

I’m sure this was fire at the time but now it’s just kitschy. It’s like Hansel opined of Sting: “I don't really listen to it, but the fact that he's making it, I respect that.”

Kann nicht wirklich etwas zu sagen, weil es einfach nicht meine Musik ist. Hat mich nicht gepackt, war aber nicht so schlecht, dass es nur einen Stern verdient hätte. 1 1/2 Sterne

It's not bad, but it doesn't really tickle either. The mix is very old timey, and the vocals are right there in your face. It becomes a bit much to me.

Guess it’s entertaining

Not really into rock and roll

Not my style

Heb je een nummer gehoord hoef je de rest niet meer te horen. Tutti frutti wel lekker nummer maar hoef dit nooit meer te horen.

A couple of good tracks but an awful lot of filler

Pre-listening thoughts: tutti frutti aw Rudy Post/during listening thoughts: well every song sounds exactly like tutti frutti. 50s music is just… ugh. 4/10 DID I NEED TO HEAR THIS BEFORE I DIE: no Fav tracks: tutti frutti Least fav tracks: can we just change the chord progression please

Not my kind of music.

Quite repetitive, Hooooo!

Didn't HAVE to listen to this before I died. I knew most of it and it's not really my cup of tea.

5/10

Clearly of it's time, and can imagine it was all the rage back in the 50s when better music hadn't been invented yet. Enjoyed the few familiar songs on there and quickly realised because of that I'd already heard about 50% of the album because they started to sound the exact same. Little Richard by name, but could have done with even smaller amounts of Richard, as after a few songs the hootin' and hollerin' was just a bit too much. Too much Dick for my liking.. and in the words of the great Ice Cube, big dicks is bad for your health.. and in this instance, my ears too.

Not that it wasn’t good, but very much of it’s time and I didn’t really enjoy it. Constantly screaming ‘WOO’ just had me thinking of Rick Flair. I don’t enjoy people who has as much energy as this little compressed man. Again, good, but not for me

I know he's a legendary singer and all, but I can't stand that "yell" that he does. Much of the music also sounds exactly the same.

I'm very grateful for Little Richard's service to rock and roll but I think we've moved on.

Good old rock and roll

okay. Little Richard. There is only so much 12-bar-boogie that I can take I realize this was the dawn of rock and roll, but damn. This is just homework now. It's essential history, but, like films from the 30s, I'm not inclined to just throw it on for entertainment. Good Bits: Long Tall Sally Skips: Everything that sounds exactly like Long Tall Sally.

kinda mid

Appreciation rather than enjoyment. The talent is undeniable so it was worth a listen just for that. But nothing I'd probably ever listen to again

This music drives me nuts. And Little Richard was a fraud. 1.5

You cannot overstate his influence. You read his Wikipedia page and basically every artist you’ve ever heard of says that he inspired them. I like how short the songs are. I like the insane frenetic energy. I think this is more a collection of singles and b-sides than a proper album, but given that he was basically inventing rock&roll, I’m willing to give him a pass for that. However, this is not an album - to the extent it even is an album - that I would ever put on to listen to for pleasure.

I get how influential album this is, but I would never really listen to this voluntarily

there were exactly 3 different rock and roll songs in 1957 and all anyone did was put different words to them, so i dunno how you could possibly need a 12 track record. nothing is particularly objectionable here on it's own, but it is not a good listening experience as an album.

listening to these first thing in the morning can be rough sometimes but you cannot deny staring ur day with A WOP BOO A LOO MOP A LOP BAM BOOM does bring a certain energy to one's cold, foggy morning commute

Big Richard must be proud

Boogie woogie is out of my element, sounds like an album full of single b sides. Got to oh why, may not finish it. The future is now old man.

I understand what this music meant at the time it was released. It definitely has earned it's spot on this list. With that said, for me it all sounded the same. Not one of my favorite listens. I do appreciate it's place in Rock N Roll, but would probably not go out of my way to listen to again.

Э. Лучшаая песня - Long Tall Sally.

HLR is one of those albums that provided the framework for what was to come next in music, but like I’ve said before, that isn’t enough to make this all that interesting. For its time, it very much was, but it’s obvious music has just got better in the time since.

I'm impressed by how much variation there is in this album, as I was expecting a situation similar to the Jerry Lee Lewis album where every single song was the exact same riff, pacing, and energy, but this album slows it down at times, and I appreciate that. However, by the end of this very short LP I was still ready to tap out, as many of the songs are not only regular ol' teenyboppers, but they've been covered to death, and while I have to give some level of credit, if I don't like the song when the Beatles do it, I'm probably not going to care here. I know about half the tracks, but I liked the deep cuts more, as Little Richard's androgynous vocal delivery was intriguing at the very least, and that shined the most on the slow paced tunes. I understand how this shaped rock 'n' roll, and that many of my favorite musicians wouldn't be here without Little Richard, but that doesn't change the fact that I just don't care for it. I can give respect, but that's about all I'm willing to muster, although I admit I think a later record from Richard could grab me more, if his sound was tweaked a little bit.

Första reaktionen: GOD DAMN längden på albumet. Okej jag lyssnade typ inte alls på det här albumet. Första låten var väl helt okej

Haha lyssnade på första låten, inte såld

I enjoyed a few of the songs, but by the end of the album, I was really getting tired of the shouting. He makes me think of Florence and the Machine; a talented vocalist with a unique energy, but trapped because that energy is so unique. I don't think I'll revisit this album sadly.

tutti frut

Tutti Frutti

Whatever dude

Too much Woooaaaaaarrrghhh

(initial thoughts) Interesting first pick. I'm familiar with Tutti Frutti, not anything else. at least I don't think I am, just from looking. My dad used to sing that one a lot. I know it's in some 80's movie, I can only assume he got it from there. (post listen) Alright, well, my first worry upon receiving this album was that it was gonna fall into the same "every song sounds exactly the same" trap that most 50's music does. and yeah, I was right. every song here does indeed sound exactly the same, with one or two exceptions. One thing I will say is that Little Richards energy is super apparent here, unlike some other records from this era. it's super clear he really did love to make music. Extra points for that, and of course for his impact on rock n roll, but overall this is still just kind of whatever. high two.

Ok. A nice piece of history. Thanks. Moving on ...

Sounds the same.

Sorry but this kind of music is best left to the museums .

Rock and roll, aber nicht erste Garde.

Aware of Little Richard and had heard a few tracks before many times. Not for me but understand why it’s a classic of it’s time.

Fine as it is, there's a finite amount of Little Richard's one trick music that I can cope with. I reached my limit way before the end of the album.

An old sound, ok but not my thing

Not horrible, but not great either.

that's a vibe. but not one I like

I respect the place in rock and roll history but 65 years of hearing these songs, they are overplayed and I don't find much joy on listening to them anymore.. 2 stars

Tutti Frutti we all know and have heard at every wedding we’ve been too. Or maybe school dance. I can’t remember. Anyway, classic song but then they all sound just like that. Got bored with it.

Album started off strong, a little heavy on the saxophone. However by the end felt repetitive with the same tunes and random shouts, just different lyrics.

Fun and easy to listen to, but after the first two songs you get bored because every track is the same exact formula.

2,5

I mean it’s hard not to tap your feet to this sort of music! Reasonably enjoyable to have on in the background but I kinda lost the plot at Jenny, Jenny with the repetitive lyrics.

Great songs don't get me wrong, but they're all very similar, almost to the point where it's a bit repetitive. Great vibe throughout and I love this style, but so far there's only a few standouts. Ngl by the end of the day I was pretty bored, there was too little variation. Still great songs but overall only 2 stars

Fun for the first 6-10 minutes then becomes repetitive. I'm sure it's technically good but there's a max amount of times I can listen to Rip it Up

Sama kappale uudestaan ja uudestaan. Joo kai se oli vähän sitä aikaa. Aika perus vanhaa rock and rollia. Kuuluu tietenkin kuiteskin listalle. Laulajan huudahdukset hiukan ärsyttäviä. Parhaat: Tutti Frutti

I appreciate Little Richard's virtuosic piano playing and his amazing voice, but these songs were pretty much just all 12-bar blues with minor variations in arranging and phrasing over the top. It was fun to listen to, but felt like just a bunch of rehashes of the same song. Two stars.

En klassiker absolut men är det bra? Little Richard kan sjunga men annars är det bara obehagliga ljud. Har man hört en låt har man hört alla. 2a för att Tutti Frutti var en kul låt att sjunga på när man var barn.

Många av tracken låter exakt likadana musikaliskt. Väldigt enformigt. Men absolut ett första viktigt steg mot ny musik. Så som musikhistoria viktigt. Men jag dömer enbart efter smak idag. Å då kommer vi inte så högt. Det är inte jättebra. Som nån annan skrev, Tutti Frutti, Ready Teddy, Long Tall Sally, She's got it, Jenny Jenny är "samma" låt. Det är väldigt lite skillnad.

- not something I would choose to casually listen to - I’m sure by general standards this is a great album just not my favorite - kind of stressed me out

Eeeehhhh - it's not bad, but it's not exciting. I can see how it might have been mind-blowing in 1957, but we've had Ziggy Stardust and 'So What' by Anti-Nowhere League since then. Maybe I'm a little jaded.

- kultig und - Darüber hinaus? Nicht viel - Ich stelle immer wieder fest, dass ich einfach kein Fan von Rock n Roll bin. Ist mir einfach zu eindimensional. Ähnlich, wie ich es mal über das Genre Blues geschrieben habe: Diese beiden Musikrichtungen sind mir dann einfach zu schematisch und LEBEN vom Gefühl und der Transportation von Emotionen. Wenn das nicht passiert, weil ich einfach keine Connection dazu aufbauen kann (und es auch von Platte und nicht live kommt) bleibt für mich leider nicht viel über. 2,25/5

Tutti shitty

Alla låtar är likadana men pluspoäng för hur inflytelserikt det är.

kennt man ofc aber ka ob des so gut geaged is

"Tutti Frutti" is a decent song though its subject matter is surprising (look it up; you'll be surprised if you don't already know). The rest is ok, but mostly of its time, including the lyrics which are generally coded language for sex that sounds all the more thirsty and horny for plethora of double entendres. Little Richard sounds histrionic on most tracks. The contrast between his shouty freakouts and the staid, possibly bored rote support by his backup singers made me laugh. 2.4 stars rounded down.

Liked Songs Tutti Frutti Long Tall Sally

Stel je voor dat er in de jaren 50 ergens iemand in ons kikkerlandje gitaar was gaan spelen en zichzelf Kleine Richard noemde. Volgens mij was daar niks van terecht gekomen. Dat kan alleen in Amerika. En alhoewel ik de invloed van de beste man op alle rockmuziek van de decennia na de jaren 50 niet ontken, klinkt het hele album als één nummer. Wat er in die jaren gebeurde rondom Richard is toch een gevalletje: je had er bij moeten zijn. De invloed is groot, maar het is anno nu niet de allerbeste muziek om zelf naar te luisteren. Oja, en ik maakte de fout om te googelen hoe Richard er op latere leeftijd uit zag. Geen aanrader. 6,5/10 Highlights Tutti Frutti

I can see how this was ahead of time, but unfortunately in today's age it doesn't work. Nothing more than a fun listen but it gets boring quickly

i guess it was good, but not one i would listen to freely.

Cool, the way you worded it sounds a lot like evolution. The majority replicates something that they know already works with little to no differences, and then there are mutants that might start a new meta... or be utterly disgusting. I guess the successful experiments are already on the list, and the unsuccessful ones are not included for a good reason. It would be a musical Kunstkamera otherwise Safe indeed

Znaci svi ovi rock blueseri su takva jedna prevara jer svi uvijek imaju istu pjesmu ili nekoliko njih i sam zamjene tekst koji tak i tak nije bitan i onda se izvlače na to kaj imaju dobar vokal e pa nećete više ovaj album je cijeli skoro isto zvučao osim kaj su tu i tam malo ubrzali ili usporili. Mislim nije lose zvučao, ali je skoro cijeli bio isti. Kajgod od sad pa nadalje svi dobivate 2 i to vam je puno, al sam zato kaj nije gore od live Boba.

Wop-Bop-a-Loo-Mop, alop-bom-bom! It's hard to have any old-time rock 'n' roll heroes with all that we know, but I'll take Little Richard over many others most days of the week. I'd rank it higher if I liked this genre more.

4/10 Unpolished due to its old mechanics

Little Richard made our ride to the dispensary more interesting and groovy. I wouldn’t voluntarily put this on, though I did appreciate the pure talent and soul that went into creating each record!

Not my favorite. Good musician just not my kind of music.

idk man this shit sucks

I could only find the deluxe album, which I'm sure detracted from the experience, as it already felt very repetitive with just the original tracks. I like Little Richard and would likely not skip any of these songs if they came up on a playlist individually, but I can't say I really enjoyed the album as a whole. "Can't Believe You Wanna Leave" was by far my favorite, and easily the most unique song on an album that felt like one run-on sentence. 2/5

Not my type of music tho. Está bien un ratito, pero más de ahí me empiezo a poner ya tensa. (Procede a copiarse de Pablito) 5/10🥸

nicht mein Fall.

If you the same song and record it 15 times with different lyrics, it isn’t exciting. No matter how much you shout.

I can see why this is on the list. Def an early rock legend. I'll rate this for its place in music history but can't say I was super into it. It's poppin and lil Rick's rasp and his timely 'whoos' are a trademark. Kids in the day went nuts I'm sure.

I'm sure it's a huge entry in rock history. Makes sense that it is on this list but after a few songs these all ran together for me. A couple good hits and then a handful of very similar filler songs. Little Richard is deservedly an icon and I'll always love how The California Raisins immortalized a couple of these songs. That being said I don't think I'll be coming back to Little Richard any time soon. 2.0 stars

Wasn't really into this one

Fun

Decent

Never a big fan. But good to hear again

Everyone has heard of little Richard because of tutti frutti . That is a great track its just a shame all the other tracks, on the album, sound the same but with different lyrics.

There are exactly two unique songs on this one - 1 rock'n'roll and 1 blues. I prefer the former. And I know it's from 1957, but the audio quality is just horrible.

It doesn’t necessarily get more rock ‘n’ roll the louder you mix it.

Not bad but this is just dancing music imo

Ok — a bit fun but not one I’m likely to return to. Didn’t feel ‘whole’

Listened once. Very familiar but not something I could stand to listen to on repeat.

Every song sounds the same - don't mind having one or two of these kind of songs, but a whole album gave me a headache lol

It was nice, after a while it kinda turned into background noise. It also made me feel like i was sitting in a hwy 55. comforting but not exciting, don’t think I would listen again.

nah

Tutti frutti sets a pretty good standard for this album. Songs like tutti frutti, ready teddy, long tall sally are exactly the same. Highlights are the more bluesy songs like baby

Notable Track: Tutti Frutti

I just think this kind of oldie rock 'n roll is boring. I don't know, what sets this record apart from all the other ones like it, same instrumentalisation, similar vocals.

~ = good + = very good * = already knew the song Tutti Frutti =*~ True Fine Mama = ~ Can't Believe You Wanna Leave = ~ Miss Ann = ~

Classic but not a need to return to this album

Just sound like a rock and roll album from 1950s there nothing much here.

two stars for the fact I didn't get into it at all. not bad, but just not good.

Tutti Frutti // 1.5/5

Very samey after first few tracks

day 38. well … I wanted to like this more than I did. It’s an energetic, upbeat, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it album, but because it moves at such a blistering pace, I grew tired of it pretty quickly. Tutti Fruitti and Ready Teddy were indistinguishable to me and everything just feels … dated. As it should, I guess? But I’m largely rating based on how likely I would listen to stuff again and again, so … here we are. 2/5 feels about right? faves - idk maybe Slippin and Slidin, Long Tall Sally, Tutti Fruitti

It’s albums like this that remind me how profound 50s lyrics were.

Ladies and gentlemen, buckle up your blue suede shoes and prepare for a blast from the past! I recently embarked on a sonic journey to the dawn of rock and roll with Little Richard's iconic album, "Here's Little Richard." It was like hopping into a musical DeLorean and finding myself in a smoky 1950s dance hall, jiving to the beat of a revolution. Now, let's address the elephant in the room: this album is as dated as your grandma's doilies. But that's the charm of it, folks! You're listening to the foundations of rock and roll being laid, and if you can appreciate that historical context, you'll find yourself bopping along to the tunes. The album is chock-full of classic songs and sounds, like an old-timey jukebox that's been dusted off and cranked up to 11. It's a veritable treasure trove of nostalgia, and I couldn't help but be transported back to the era of sock hops and poodle skirts. However, like a vintage vinyl, there's a bit of a crackle to this listening experience. While I could feel the energy Little Richard brought to those 1950s dance halls, the vibe didn't quite translate to 2023. It's like trying to do the Twist in a world of twerking – a fun novelty, but a bit out of place. In the end, "Here's Little Richard" is worth spinning at least once as a learning experience, like a crash course in Rock and Roll 101. It may not be an album I'd return to regularly, but it certainly left me with a newfound appreciation for the roots of the genre. So, folks, if you're ready to take a step back in time and witness the birth of rock and roll, give "Here's Little Richard" a listen. Just remember to bring your dancing shoes and a healthy dose of nostalgia!

The quick beat songs all sounded like he was trying to get through them as fast as he could play and hoped everyone kept up. I liked the smoother beat and musicality of songs like Miss Ann and Oh, Why.

These are all the same song!

I don't think I'd be into music if this is what it sounded like. And I get how earth shattering it was at the time. I just can't get into it now.

Clearly talented... some classic tunes, and easy to listen to. Unfortunately, very repetitive and not really a complete album, more just a collection of songs. I wouldn't listen to any of them on my own.

Nope, he's too over the top for me. I can stand a song or two here and there, but a whole album of that.... I'll pass. 2.5/5

This stuff'll make you a god-damn sexual tyrannosaurus, just like me. Rip It Up is great. It's a variation of the same song, 15 times, it's a good song, but it gets a bit much. 2 / 5 stars.

theres only 2 ways to dance to this

I respect the talent and influence this album has, but it's really not for me. A lot of repetition and what feels like filler songs in between the few well known hits. Needed some pancakes with this one because these sounds are synonymous with a 50's diner in my mind.
