Wop-Bop-A-Loo-Wop-A-Wop-Bam-Boom! This week we're Slippin' And Slidin' into the world of Little Richard Penniman! Raised on Gospel music in his dad's church, the War Hawk soon took to the stage to play "the Devil's music," complete with rollicking piano, screaming vocals, and boundless energy. His 1957 debut Here's Little Richard exploded onto the scene with hits like Tutti Frutti and Long Tall Sally that defined early rock 'n' roll and changed the nature of music forever. We'll cover his career, his conversion from rock star to preacher, and more as we Rip It Up with this record! The Mixtaper has facts about Grammy anachronisms, pompadour problems, and 29 weddings (give or take). So if you're Ready, Teddy.. rock and roll!
