LITTLE RICHARD

He is the King of Rock and Roll.  You should know that!!

  私は、かなりのLittle Richardのファンです。Little Richardのことは、尊敬のあまりLittle Richard先生と呼ぶことにしている。そして、James Brownのことは、James Brown師匠と呼んでいる。私が、どちらからより影響を受けているかは、ちょっと判断が難しい。先生は、もちろんSpecialtyの録音が最高なのは誰もが認める事実である。オレンジ色の2枚のLPは、ロックを聴く人の基本として持っていて欲しいと思います。しかし、実はその前も後も素晴らしいのである。Vee-Jayのときの再録もかっこいい。今の時代では、先生の録音を時代に沿ってそろえていくことは、不可能に近いです。世間は先生を過小評価しすぎです。彼こそがRock and Rollの生みの親です。先生は日頃からよくこんなことを言っています。"Rhythm & Blues had a baby.  And somebody named Rock and Roll.  I want you to know that."

Little Richard Live1995年10月5日、Disney Pleasure Island)

 私がもっとも尊敬するロックンロール・シンガー、King of Rock'n Roll, Little Richard先生をDisney Pleasure Islandでみました。私は学生割引きで、たった$8で2ステージも見てしまったのです。62歳だというのに、声の衰えはまったくなく、例の「Wooh!!」というshoutも昔のままでした。そして、ピアノも最高!!曲はもちろんヒット曲の数々。そしてバンドはなんとBassが二人というあまりみたことのない構成。Bandの音がかなりでかいのに、先生の声は全然負けていないところがすごすぎる。相変わらずの毒舌で、観客に向かって「Shut Up!!」を連発したり、「マイケル・ジャクソンとプリンスは俺の歌い方を真似している。俺は2人とも好きだ」などとたいそうなことを言ってみたり、「Pianoの音をもっとでかくしてくれ!!」と注文したり。そして、驚くことになんと私は、ステージに上がってKingと一緒に踊ってしまい(彼は私にハイファイブをしてくれた。)、さらには写真を撮ってしまったのだ。この日は先生も随分調子が良く、客の反応もよかったのでアンコールをもっとやりたかったみたいだけど、Pleasure Islandは時間に厳しいので仕方なく終わってしまいました。
