Lead Belly is an artist I have been meaning to get into but just haven't yet. I normally trust y'all on early rock so if you can tell me where to start with Lead Belly that would be great. To each there own of course he sounds like someone I'd enjoy. Lately i've just been listening to Roxy Music and Tindersticks who are totally different ha.

Sleep well, Little Richard; you were another great from a generation that will truly never be again. Jerry Lee Lewis and Don Everly are the last living inductees from the Hall's first class. Posted by The Dude on Saturday, 05/9/2020 @ 11:08am |
I'm not sure that Rock N Roll in all its decades of outrageousness, has ever managed to better the sheer visceral fire of the phrase " Wop-bop-a-loo-mop alop-bom-bom". Posted by Shrek on Saturday, 05/9/2020 @ 12:07pm |
Little Richard, Founding Father of Rock Who Broke Musical Barriers, Dead at 87 Posted by Roy on Saturday, 05/9/2020 @ 12:50pm |
My most sincere condolences to the family and friends of Little Richard on his passing. His attitude and songs are just a part of his immense influence on Rock & Roll and he will definitely be missed. I really imagine that there will now also be a huge tribute to Little Richard at the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame Induction Ceremony in November. Posted by Enigmaticus on Saturday, 05/9/2020 @ 13:31pm |
And then, there was one...remaining survivor of the inaugural class. Posted by Joe on Saturday, 05/9/2020 @ 13:40pm |
Enigmaticus: I would imagine there would be an "In Memorium" to several artists, first to those not (yet) inducted, (including Marie Fredrickson, Peter Tork, Eddie Money and perhaps Kenny Rogers) and then the inductees, including Neil Peart, Ric Ocasek, Bill Withers and yes, Little Richard.

Little Richard Reflects on the Dawn of Rock & Roll, Influencing the Beatles and Stones Posted by Roy on Saturday, 05/9/2020 @ 16:51pm |
TheDude: I realized that a short time after my post. Thank you for setting me straight. Posted by Joe on Tuesday, 05/12/2020 @ 13:42pm |
The Righteous Rev Richard has left the the building on Earth to play the greatest venue in Rock and Roll Heaven. He lived a long life outliving the founding fathers including the King of Rock Elvis and the Father of Rock and Roll Chuck Berry and great competitor on the 88 Keys Fats Domino. Little Richard only regret that his arch rival Jerry Lee Lewis is still alive. Both Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis survived drugs, alcohol and condemnation from conservatives of Rock and Roll during the 1950's. Before James Brown, Michael Jackson, Prince, Elton John, and David Bowie, It was Little Richard who was the originator and deserves the title "Architect of Rock and Roll" Posted by Erayman64 on Tuesday, 05/12/2020 @ 22:13pm |
Thanks for getting back to me on Lead Belly. I am so late to reply but will hopefully be able to give him a spin soon. Posted by David on Friday, 02/26/2021 @ 14:56pm |
