''The Explosive Little Richard'' is the first album from Little Richard under the Okeh label, produced by Little Richard's long-time friend Larry Williams and Johnny "Guitar" Watson and reflecting the then current sound of Soul and Motown. A mixture of cover versions and originals, it featured no tracks penned by Richard himself. Despite the new direction, it failed to chart on ''Billboard'', but it did produce the hit singles "Poor Dog" and "Commandments of Love" and opened the door to the Okeh era comeback, a return to the Billboard album charts - the first time in ten years - and a greater demand for concert appearances. Interesting to note, Richard's "(You're My Girl) I Don't Want To Discuss it" was not a hit for him but was duly noted later by Delaney and Bonnie and Friends, Rhinoceros, and Rod Stewart. The song "Well" is better known as "Well Alright!", a Sam Cooke composition Richard had in the Specialty vaults at the time he cut the Okeh version (reported to feature Jimi Hendrix). ==Track listing== # "Get Down With It" (Marchan) - 3:16 # "Land of a Thousand Dances" (Domino, Kenner) – 2:10 # "The Commandments of Love" (Williams) – 2:27 # "I Don't Want To Discuss It" (Beatty, Cooper, Shelby) – 2:28 # "Money (That's What I Want)" (Bradford, Gordy) – 2:02 # "Poor Dog (Who Can't Wag His Own Tail)" (Watson, Williams) – 3:06 # "I Need Love" (Williams) – 2:39 # "Never Gonna Let You Go" (Cooper, Shelby) – 2:41 # "Don't Deceive Me (Please Don't Go)" (Willis) – 4:39 # "Function At The Junction" (Holland, Long) – 2:35 # "Well (aka Well All Right)" (Cooke) – 2:56 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Explosive Little Richard」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
