Little Richard - Saga All Stars: Tutti Frutti / Selected Singles 1951-1956 (2007)

Saga All Stars lets you rediscover, in the best possible conditions, the immense figures who were, among others, the queen of soul Aretha Franklin, the youthful but already groove-dynamic James Brown, rock’n’roll pioneers Elvis Presley and Gene Vincent, the fantastic crooner Nat King Cole, the irresistible Marilyn Monroe and the spellbinding Nina Simone.

Of the great artists from the first era of rock & roll, few were as powerful and exciting as Little Richard, and no one bested his magnetism and flamboyance. Blessed with a singularly forceful voice (his piercing "Whooooo!" is still one of the most eloquent screams in American music) and a rollicking piano style, Little Richard fused gospel, rhythm & blues, and boogie woogie into a sound that was purely electric, and he startled audiences with his flashy clothes, outrageous persona, and willingness to present a sexually ambiguous image at a time when such things were all but unknown in popular culture.
