About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Speciality's The Essential Little Richard lives up to its billing, featuring 20 of Little Richard's finest recordings for the label. Not only are all the hits here, but there's some terrific lesser-known tunes and cult favorites slipped on at the end of the record, making this yet another great compilation of Richard's Specialty material. It proves that it would be nearly impossible to release a bad compilation of these recordings. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
