Biographer Spencer Leigh on Little Richard

Nobody embodies the spirit of Rock n Roll more than Little Richard.It could be argued that his whole career was a misadventure in music so he's THE perfect subject for our latest podcast. Ourguest is the much-respected author/broadcaster, Spencer Leigh, whose biography of the man himself, Send Me Some Lovin', is out now. Born Richard Wayne Penniman, Little Richard claimed he invented rock'n' roll.  He didn't, but his songs - Tutti Frutti, Lucille, Good Golly Miss Molly and many more - changed the rock 'n' roll landscape forever. He was a huge influence on the Beatles, Hendrix and Prince and he lived his life as though he was continually on stage. There really was no one like Little Richard."find out more here:   http://www.spencerleigh.co.uk/
