I only knew the Zappa version until tonight.
But now, sleep well sweet Richard.

First version on Peacock recorded 1956. This the second version recorded by Specialty in 1959

Little Richard was great and he found Jesus as his lord and Savior and went to heaven God bless you angel

[Jason-os]

[seanbrennan]

What a damn good song, by a damn good artist

[donfraser]

Genius at the mike - play, listen and rejoice!

[jjkey]

That Ace Case was really something - I bless them for including this sublime tune - fantastic vocal & a superb band!

[SteveGoldfield]

RIP Little Richard. I think this version is recorded with the Johnny Otis band. I also like the longer cover that Sugarcane Harris did with the Mothers of Invention.

PEACOOK, then SPECIALTY and last MODERN

[hubertsumlin]

This is the cut that gets me excited... a different animal from the sped up 1960 version on Specialty

[ochocabra]

first, he invents rock & roll; then, on a whim, he invents Otis Redding and Sam Cooke in under 3 minutes

[philsilverman]

His 3rd version, cut at the New Sun Studios, in Memphis, Tennessee, USA, on 1 January 1966.There’s a shortened, but stereo pressing in The Wild and Frantic Little Richard album !

I dig Little Richard and I dig Frank Zappa - and I never had any idea that this was Little Richard.
Back in the early sixties I got into trouble for not making it to school when the folks went out to their jobs .... and I stayed home and played Lucille all day until it was time for the folks to come home, and I'd go out and pretend I'd been at school all day. Now I think of it, as much as I always dug Little Richard - and Zappa much later - I never realised that Zappa took this song from Little Richard. Hell, I've just had a Zappa afternoon; now it looks like I'm going to have a Little Richard evening.
She was there before anyone. Before Little Richard, Chuck Berry, or anyone .... Sister Rosetta Tharpe paved the way. More than anybody, this great lady created an idiom.
Little Richard would not have been Little Richard without Sister Rosetta; he would've been someone else. As significant as Little Richard is in R'n'R history, Sister Rosetta is far too under-recognised.

Zappa covered this on weasels ripped my flesh...

THANK YOU SO MUCH, HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS VERSION SINCE EVER!!! <3

Little Richard later recorded this song as "Lucille"
