LITTLE RICHARDS HERES LITTLE RICHARD - JORDAN B...

From male bisexuality to religion in pop  Little Richard spent the 1950s pioneering ideas that
are still too challenging for the mainstream. As a Black multimillionaire rock star  he was the
most exciting person on the planet between 1955 and 1957  the years in which his seismic debut
album was created. Featuring new interviews with famous fans including Sir Elton John  Dave
Grohl  Joan Jett and Nile Rodgers  this is the first in-depth look at Here's Little Richard
since Richard Penniman's death in May 2020. The book explores his roots in the queer
underground of the American South  a scene so progressive you'd scarcely believe it thrived
seven decades ago  and early rebel music such as jump blues  which soon collided with the
emerging juggernaut that was rock'n'roll. When that weird alchemy occurred  the self-proclaimed
Living Flame was ready to spark the likes of The Beatles  David Bowie and Prince into
existence. Those close to the tale pinpoint the ways in which 'Long Tall Sally' and 'Tutti
Frutti' remain omnipresent - and why the latter was the 'WAP' of its day. This is the story of
how Little Richard changed the world in 28 minutes and 30 seconds.
