Ep #35 Little Richard - Tribute to THE King of Rock N' Roll

Ep #35 Little Richard - Tribute to THE King of Rock N' Roll

For Episode #35 I pay tribute to the one the only, Little Richard the man who helped define the early rock 'n' roll era of the 1950s with his driving flamboyant sound & look.

I was watching the movie Green Book over the past weekend which featured Little Richard on the soundtrack and who's name was dropped throughout the movie, the next morning I woke up and news came through Little Richard had passed away after his battle with bone cancer.

This is the first episode of Foxx on the Wire which does not feature a guest, I've been wanting to do more episodes where I just talk about music and artists specifically. Admittedly I didn't know much about Little Richard aside from the fact he was a huge influence on a lot of my favourite bands, so I thought this was a good opportunity to learn more about him whilst paying tribute to him at the same time.

I hope you enjoy this episode & it inspires you to delve into the life and career of Little Richard. Here is the YouTube link to Little Richard inducting Otis Redding into the Rock N' Roll Hall of Fame in 1989, I highly recommend checking it out if you haven't seen it!

Thanks for listening, I'll be back again soon with another episode of Foxx on the Wire!
