King Of Rock And Roll

The studio album King Of Rock And Roll by American pioneer and music legend Little Richard was released in 1971 on Reprise Records. This release marked an important and notable period in his return to the music scene in the early 1970s, when he successfully adapted his recognizable explosive expression to new trends within rock, soul, R&B and funk music.

The record offers an infectious mix of wild energy, powerful vocal performances and dance rhythms for which Little Richard became globally famous in the 1950s, but enriched with more contemporary studio arrangements and modern production. The album contains a series of dynamic original compositions and interesting covers, with standout songs such as the energetic "Green Power", "In the Career", "Midnight Train" and other rhythmic numbers that emphasize his inimitable piano style and eccentric stage spirit.

While it may not have reached the commercial heights of his early groundbreaking hits of the 1950s, The King Of Rock And Roll was met with positive reviews as a testament to his enduring vitality, inexhaustible creativity, and pivotal influence on the overall development of world rock and pop music. The album remains a valuable document of the later part of the career of one of the greatest figures in music history.
