Not my favorite. Good musician just not my kind of music.
idk man this shit sucks
I could only find the deluxe album, which I'm sure detracted from the experience, as it already felt very repetitive with just the original tracks. I like Little Richard and would likely not skip any of these songs if they came up on a playlist individually, but I can't say I really enjoyed the album as a whole. "Can't Believe You Wanna Leave" was by far my favorite, and easily the most unique song on an album that felt like one run-on sentence. 2/5
Not my type of music tho. Está bien un ratito, pero más de ahí me empiezo a poner ya tensa. (Procede a copiarse de Pablito) 5/10🥸
nicht mein Fall.
If you the same song and record it 15 times with different lyrics, it isn’t exciting. No matter how much you shout.
I can see why this is on the list. Def an early rock legend. I'll rate this for its place in music history but can't say I was super into it. It's poppin and lil Rick's rasp and his timely 'whoos' are a trademark. Kids in the day went nuts I'm sure.
I'm sure it's a huge entry in rock history. Makes sense that it is on this list but after a few songs these all ran together for me. A couple good hits and then a handful of very similar filler songs. Little Richard is deservedly an icon and I'll always love how The California Raisins immortalized a couple of these songs. That being said I don't think I'll be coming back to Little Richard any time soon. 2.0 stars
Wasn't really into this one
Fun
Decent
Never a big fan. But good to hear again
Everyone has heard of little Richard because of tutti frutti . That is a great track its just a shame all the other tracks, on the album, sound the same but with different lyrics.
There are exactly two unique songs on this one - 1 rock'n'roll and 1 blues. I prefer the former. And I know it's from 1957, but the audio quality is just horrible.
It doesn’t necessarily get more rock ‘n’ roll the louder you mix it.
Not bad but this is just dancing music imo
Ok — a bit fun but not one I’m likely to return to. Didn’t feel ‘whole’
Listened once. Very familiar but not something I could stand to listen to on repeat.
Every song sounds the same - don't mind having one or two of these kind of songs, but a whole album gave me a headache lol
It was nice, after a while it kinda turned into background noise. It also made me feel like i was sitting in a hwy 55. comforting but not exciting, don’t think I would listen again.
nah
Tutti frutti sets a pretty good standard for this album. Songs like tutti frutti, ready teddy, long tall sally are exactly the same. Highlights are the more bluesy songs like baby
Notable Track: Tutti Frutti
I just think this kind of oldie rock 'n roll is boring. I don't know, what sets this record apart from all the other ones like it, same instrumentalisation, similar vocals.
~ = good + = very good * = already knew the song Tutti Frutti =*~ True Fine Mama = ~ Can't Believe You Wanna Leave = ~ Miss Ann = ~
Classic but not a need to return to this album
Just sound like a rock and roll album from 1950s there nothing much here.
two stars for the fact I didn't get into it at all. not bad, but just not good.
Tutti Frutti // 1.5/5
Very samey after first few tracks
day 38. well … I wanted to like this more than I did. It’s an energetic, upbeat, blink-and-you’ll-miss-it album, but because it moves at such a blistering pace, I grew tired of it pretty quickly. Tutti Fruitti and Ready Teddy were indistinguishable to me and everything just feels … dated. As it should, I guess? But I’m largely rating based on how likely I would listen to stuff again and again, so … here we are. 2/5 feels about right? faves - idk maybe Slippin and Slidin, Long Tall Sally, Tutti Fruitti
It’s albums like this that remind me how profound 50s lyrics were.
Ladies and gentlemen, buckle up your blue suede shoes and prepare for a blast from the past! I recently embarked on a sonic journey to the dawn of rock and roll with Little Richard's iconic album, "Here's Little Richard." It was like hopping into a musical DeLorean and finding myself in a smoky 1950s dance hall, jiving to the beat of a revolution. Now, let's address the elephant in the room: this album is as dated as your grandma's doilies. But that's the charm of it, folks! You're listening to the foundations of rock and roll being laid, and if you can appreciate that historical context, you'll find yourself bopping along to the tunes. The album is chock-full of classic songs and sounds, like an old-timey jukebox that's been dusted off and cranked up to 11. It's a veritable treasure trove of nostalgia, and I couldn't help but be transported back to the era of sock hops and poodle skirts. However, like a vintage vinyl, there's a bit of a crackle to this listening experience. While I could feel the energy Little Richard brought to those 1950s dance halls, the vibe didn't quite translate to 2023. It's like trying to do the Twist in a world of twerking – a fun novelty, but a bit out of place. In the end, "Here's Little Richard" is worth spinning at least once as a learning experience, like a crash course in Rock and Roll 101. It may not be an album I'd return to regularly, but it certainly left me with a newfound appreciation for the roots of the genre. So, folks, if you're ready to take a step back in time and witness the birth of rock and roll, give "Here's Little Richard" a listen. Just remember to bring your dancing shoes and a healthy dose of nostalgia!
The quick beat songs all sounded like he was trying to get through them as fast as he could play and hoped everyone kept up. I liked the smoother beat and musicality of songs like Miss Ann and Oh, Why.
These are all the same song!
I don't think I'd be into music if this is what it sounded like. And I get how earth shattering it was at the time. I just can't get into it now.
Clearly talented... some classic tunes, and easy to listen to. Unfortunately, very repetitive and not really a complete album, more just a collection of songs. I wouldn't listen to any of them on my own.
Nope, he's too over the top for me. I can stand a song or two here and there, but a whole album of that.... I'll pass. 2.5/5
This stuff'll make you a god-damn sexual tyrannosaurus, just like me. Rip It Up is great. It's a variation of the same song, 15 times, it's a good song, but it gets a bit much. 2 / 5 stars.
theres only 2 ways to dance to this
I respect the talent and influence this album has, but it's really not for me. A lot of repetition and what feels like filler songs in between the few well known hits. Needed some pancakes with this one because these sounds are synonymous with a 50's diner in my mind.
Not a fan
I do like some early boomery pop, but this is too much 12 bar blues for me
I get why it is on the list. But it is not that interesting to me.
This album is ok. This album felt like it had like 3 different songs repeated 3 times. They are fun to listen to the first time, but listening to the whole album grew kinda old. Favorite song: Tutti Frutti Worst song: Jenny Jenny
Fav songs: - Tutti Frutti
Classic but for someone else‘s ears
Very repetitive, but great energy
Just too old
slitsomt i lengden
A highly influential album that deserves the legacy, but something I'll not listen to in full again
A collection of songs. Not an album in the sense we know it now. Cover art 4/5
Che roba esagitata. Sembra musica solo per ballare.
Marching Band Fodder
Ну такое, один и тот же квадрат слушать 2 часа не вкатывает
Tutti Frutti
It's one ok song over and over again for 30 mins.
2.5
Anyone who listens to music will know he has a very distinct voice. Still, not for me though!
This was a treat as it reminded me of my father. It is the music of my childhood. However on close listen I think there was only 3 variety of rhythm in the whole album and I could easily sing the same lyrics to 95% of the songs.
Ok. So. We have an original pressing of this record, inherited form none other than Mark Authier. That's pretty crazy, in its own right. It's well-played and is noisy and scratched. Which suits the music, sort of. Here's the thing with all these 50s/pre-1964 rock artists: I don't care. I mean, I do. But only insofar as it led to what I consider to be great Rock n Roll. I know that's dumb probably.
Tutti Frutti
Once you've heard one or two, you've basically heard them all, but there is value there.
Not my favourite kinda repetitive
Suena algo interesante y hay unas canciones buenas pero para discos de esa epoca escucharia algo de elvis que me gusta mucho mas, cancion favorita fue Tutti Frutti
One song. But it's a good song! I wasn't overwhelmed though, so will need to listen again.
full of energy and quite something for 1959, but much more than a couple of tracks and i am craving glitchy miserable downbeat stuff
Saipahan ainakin sen aukon paikattua sivistyksestä, että tietää, kenen originaali biisi Tutti Frutti on. Ja se, että Tutti Frutti kappaleen originaalit sanat on kertoneet anaaliseksistä. Pioneeripisteitä en vieläkään jaa, arvostellaan levyt levyinä, eikä sen mukaan, mikä on inspiroinut ketäkin.
Rock 'n Roll, ik hou er wel van. Echter om een heel album te luisteren dat dan weer niet.
Ja, zal vast heel invloedrijk zijn geweest. Dit houd ik welgeteld 1 nummer vol en dan heb ik het echt wel gehoord.
Vaikka onkin rokkenrollin klassikkokamaa ja arvokasta pioneerityötä, niin ei tämä nyt oikein puhutellut, vaikka pariin kertaan lätty tuli kuunneltua. Pari hittibiisiä ja sitten muuta samankaltaista räminää.
Ok I guess. Little Richard had little effect for me
Pioneering Rock n Roll. Not my thing but popular songs on album (Tutti Frutti; Long Tall Sally.) 5/10.
Every song sounded nearly the same, just a slightly different tempo and different (repeated) words. It was fun, but nothing I'll listen to again.
Hippity hoppity, boopity bopity
Good jazzy 50s
Not great

Ei tällainen vanha rokki vaan ole yhtään mun genre. Kakkonen hyvästä yrityksestä.
Here‘s der Mülleimer. Wusste gar nicht, dass Rock 'n Roll mich derartig nervt.
Legend. Five stars. Giving one star b/c I'm using stars to highlight albums I love that I haven't heard before.
mid
This score is overly harsh, but I have a strong aversion to this music.
Did not like it. Recognized one song, but that was the highlight.
lwk ass
The Beatles really liked him... and HE really liked HIM... lol
He thought he was great so that’s saying something ..
Good album. He was a fun artist.
i’m ok fr
I accept the historical significance but don’t find any of this worth listening to as music.
Sooo generic/derivative
To be honest I really don’t like this genre // like the way old school rock-n-roll sounds
I don't think he realised just how loudly he was screaming into the microphone
Not good.
Heb je 1 liedje gehoord heb je ze allemaal gehoord
Here's 1 star. I thought it only fair to put myself in the mind of someone in 1950s America hearing this for the first time, but then I got really worried about catching polio, and this album was still boring and repetitive.
is this lil dicky?
Not for me. 1/5
Not for me thanks
Nope
Rock and roll clásico. No puedo opinar mucho al respecto
I can kinda get into the songwriting and instrumentals, though Little Richard's voice is far too abrasive for me.
Clearly Little Richard has been a huge influence on later musicians. This record holds no interest for me though. Is every song actually the same as all the others?
Хуйня пиздец
A classic, not my first choise
I deleted the album from my downloads halfway through. This is the worst album I've ever heard.
Its impact is undeniable upon listening, but in present context & through the lens of personal preference, each song appears to be an only slightly different version of the last, and the album ultimately falls flat with only Little Richard's clearly adept voice to lift it. Top song: none
lose
Not my cup of tea, pretty annoying
shiiiiieeet hvað þetta er leiðinleg fucking tónlist god motha fucking damn hlustaði á fyrstu 10 sekúndurnar af fyrsta laginu og ég slökkti á þessu, i dont give a shit ef ég er að missa af einhverju, 1 stjarna!
Can't really relate to the lyrics or style. Interesting retrospective on older pop music, but not really for me.
I don’t like rock and roll.
One song was fine, but the whole album feels too much.
As expected. A little too little Richard, and a little too repetitive
Es ist, was es ist. Historische 1.0
:(
Old music is old
kind of outdated, basically the start of swing/rock&roll but not that interesting to listen to
Love lil rich - reminds me of fallout
Overall some solid slow jams. Other fun and interesting songs. 2 - Play in the Sunshine - some breakbeats, Interesting song. 10 - U Got the Look - Fun song, good riff. 12 - Strange Relationship - 4 - The Ballad of Dorothy Parker - Good bassline. Interesting subject matter. Good song overall. 6 - Starfish and Coffee - Good Fun Song. 8- Hot Thing - 13 - I could Never Take the Place of Your Man - Good Song that turns into a jam piece. A fun jam ending. 9 - Forever in My Life - Wish the ending acoustic guitar was in more of this song. 7 - Slow Love - 16 - Adore - 1 - Sign 'O' the Times - 3 - Housequake - something to nod your head to 15 - It's Gonna Be a Beautiful Night (Live) - Jammy 5 - It - Not really an impressive song 11- If I Was Your Girlfriend - 14 - The Cross -
