Little Richard, Little Richard (Album)

Little Richard's stage persona was much wilder than anything that had been seen by 1958 (and much more so than by an African American man1).  In order to placate some concerned parents studio executives had him sing some old standards on his second album.  It didn't exactly turn out like "Stardust," instead "Baby Face" and "By the Light of the Silvery Moon" become raucous Little Richard numbers.  It's not as good as his first album, "Here's Little Richard," but it's still great.

1.)  Yes, Lead Belly was considerably wilder, but that was off stage.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

I am a huge Little Richard fan. :wub:  You have to read the "authorized" biography from the 1980s, there is truly some great stuff.  Like when he threw his $6000 pinky ring off the ferry while on the Australian tour to demonstrate his newfound commitment to Christ.  And then got kicked out of bible college for...extracurricular activities with other male students.

There are also some wonderful videos of LR out there on YouTube.
