R.I.P   Richard. Rip it up in the next place.

One of the most exciting, intense, energetic and distinctively brilliant recording artists of the last 70 years. Not many singers could hammer out a lyric like awopbopaloobop etc and make it sound so alive. It was simply thrilling to see him perform and to hear his fervent vocals.

His rock n roll was hugely influential but his soul sides and gospel recordings show the range of his considerable abilities.

Really sad news;simply a Legend and a trailblazer-across many genres of music and across the decades,from his very 1st(and very underrated) recordings for RCA  and Peacock in the early 50's inc. some fine R&B and prototype Soul ballads, to his Rock n' Roll classics on Specialty (only Jerry Lee left of the major R n' R stars now) in the mid-50's to his nice Gospel in the early 60's to his Vee Jay Deep Soul classic of 64'' I Don't Know What You Got ', to those great mid-late 60's Okeh Soul sides we all know,love and have danced to all these years.

An amazing  live performer and a great,unique artist

This is the live version from the LP, and UK release is different studio version, I think, credits are possibly wrong.....🤨 interesting though to be credited to Bobby Marchan
