Recording sessions

[edit]

1950s

[edit]

The pre-Specialty sessions

RCA Victor sessions: WGST Studio, Atlanta, October 16, 1951, and January 12, 1952

Peacock sessions: Houston, February 25 and October 5, 1953

The Specialty sessions

Little Richard recorded a demonstration tape for Specialty at WBML Studio, Macon, on February 9, 1955. He recorded for Specialty for two years, from September 13, 1955, to October 18, 1957.

When Richard abdicated from rock 'n' roll in late 1957, Specialty was forced to go back to earlier, less rock-oriented recordings they had rejected initially to make future releases. In an effort to make these recordings sound "current", they added a female chorus (and in at least one instance, extra instrumentation) to the basic track.

The Goldner sessions

Several religious tracks were recorded in the summer of 1959 in New York City and released by different labels owned by (or associated with) record industry mogul George Goldner (End, Goldisc, Coral, Spin O Rama, etc.). Three record labels with access to the "dirgelike" tracks later overdubbed drums and other percussion to fill out the sound.

1960s

[edit]

The Little Star sessions

Little Richard recorded six rhythm and blues songs, three Fats Domino vocals and three instrumentals, backed by his 1950s band, the Upsetters, on November 24, 1962, in New York. Two singles were released by Little Star under the name "The World Famous Upsetters".

The Mercury sessions

Little Richard was working for Mercury from June 1961 to March 1962. These recordings have been produced by Quincy Jones and Bumps Blackwell. It appears a second Mercury album was planned but shelved. Richard reached the charts with two single releases.

The Atlantic sessions

The recordings made for Atlantic from June 14, 1962, to April 2, 1963, continue Richard's commitment to religious material. "Crying in the Chapel" was a regional USA hit.

The return to Specialty

In the wake of the "British Invasion" and following a successful tour of England, Richard collected his current guitarist (Glen Willings), the drummer from his New Orleans sessions (Earl Palmer), and old labelmates Don and Dewey and returned to Specialty to start his comeback.

He recorded five tracks (including "Well Alright" and "Bama Lama Bama Loo") in two sessions in March and April 1964. A single was released at the time, and four of the songs were eventually released, with additional overdubs, on the 1970 compilation Well Alright!.

The Vee Jay sessions

Charles White wrote in 1984 that "even with access to the Vee Jay files, information is a bit uncertain in some areas... Of most importance to latter-day rock fans are the cuts that Jimi Hendrix played on, as a member of Richard's touring band. We have singled out those tracks we are relatively sure have Hendrix involvement, although he may have appeared on others."[9]

Little Richard was recording for Vee Jay from June 1964 to at least May–June 1965 (Vee Jay Executive Betty Chiapetta reported in 1982, that Richard recorded several instrumentals for the label). According to Charles White, Jimi Hendrix was playing guitar at least on the first session including such tracks as "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On", "Hound Dog", "Lawdy Miss Clawdy", "Money Honey", "Goodnight Irene" and others, released on the album Little Richard Is Back. Hendrix played on at least nine tracks on the second LR Vee Jay album of '50s remakes. Among the notable Richard-Hendrix songs were "I Don't Know What You've Got (But It's Got Me)", a soul hit in late 1965, and "Dancing All Around the World" (aka "Dance a Go Go"), and "You'd Better Stop", recorded in New York City May or June, '65.

The Modern sessions

Little Richard was recording for the Modern Records label from December 1965 to January 1966.

The Modern recordings are demos, studio warm-ups, tapes supplied by Richard, and actual Modern sessions. Two albums were issued; all tracks of the first one, The Incredible Little Richard Sings His Greatest Hits - Live!, have an overdubbed audience to enhance a live shows done at The Domino, a club in Atlanta, Georgia, December 1, 1965.

There are at least six tracks still unreleased (including “Try Me”, "I Got a Woman", "Good-Bye So Long" [aka "Goodbye Baby"], "Satisfaction", "Baby Face", "High Heel Sneakers"). Two songs are leftovers from Vee Jay Records, an extended version of "Groovy Little Suzy" and a studio version of "Slippin' and Slidin'", both from August 1964. It appears that a third, "Do the Jerk" [aka "Get Down With It"], was recorded in November 1964 in Nashville with Jimi Hendrix.

The Okeh sessions

A contemporary mix of pop, jazz, and soul studio tracks and a charting, in-studio-with-audience live set highlight Richard's Okeh period from February 5, 1966, to May 17, 1967 at Hollywood and (in December 1966) at Abbey Road Studios. Penniman's long-time friend, musician Larry Williams produced the pair of albums.

The Brunswick sessions

Richard recorded six tracks for Brunswick in 1967–68. Three singles have been released.

Later years

[edit]

The Reprise sessions

The Reprise era was the commercial peak of Richard's comeback, highlighted by numerous television talk show appearances. The sessions took place from March 11, 1970, to April 1972. (Reprise files mention a 1969 session in Los Angeles, for Blackwell Productions; no song titles available). Sessions yielded two hit singles and one hit album. Some tracks from April 1971 first appeared under alternate titles for the Ala label.

Miscellaneous sessions

Little Richard recorded three tracks for the film Let the Good Times Roll circa late 1972, for United Records in January 1973, and for other labels in 1973–75. He re-recorded his mid-50s and mid-60s Specialty hits for K-tel in 1976. In 1979, Koala Records issued what sounds like an early 1970s performance.[citation needed] In 1979, he recorded the gospel album God's Beautiful City, issued by Word Records. In 1985 and 1986, he recorded the album Lifetime Friend, issued by Warner Bros.
