The aim was for this piano pounder with rocking vocal chords to become the King of Speciality Records after the Queen, Little Richard got hip to working on Sundays and became a preacher. To delight your ears you hear a real bad boy captured in his prime with four songs that everyone should not only know, but also own. Take it away daddyo and send us to 'Gonesville' with your ode to a big fat Tutti Frutti, that you love so, 'Short Fat Fanny'. Take your pick with this ditty, jive or stroll it's the most! Chicks with a frame so skinny they could snap in the wind, Larry loved them also, and so did the record buying public who made the hot dancer 'Bony Maronie' an all-time chart-entering classic! The tempo hits a high on the flip side with 'Slow Down', the chick is moving way too fast and gives Larry no love, a timeless dance-floor filler that's a real treat. The closing track changes our man's direction, with a female vocal chorus repeating the title 'Give Me Lovin'', the sound gravitates towards the Ray Charles direction. Boy oh boy will this platter have the people gyrating on the dance-floor.
