The Sonics were The ONLY band worthy of covering Little Richard. Check out their version of 'Keep a Knockin' ' -- truly great. Gerry just nails the vocal delivery.
Good morning, do you like sixties? Listen and pod cast my program " great sound of 60' s " on the site plumfm. Greeting and made blooper in rock and roll.
Salut, vous aimez les sixties ? Ecoutez et podcatez mon émission "le super son des sixties" sur plum fm. Salut et faites gaffe au rock'n roll.
Im not even white buddy i from sevral different races no true race looking at me you would prolly say im spanish but im not even spanish the comment i was directing to was sombody who said this is to good to be made by white ppl which is racist in itself so dont come at me with this white pride bullshit i didnt play a race card you did bro i agree little richard is one of the best to ever do it ur also right becuase after doing some research its seems rock'n'roll morphed from the doo wop genre
@SlickSputta s Do you realize that Spanish people are white or what?Spain is an european country.Racists in the USA(I'M NOT GENERALIZING AT ALL)THINK THEYRE The only white people on earth . Well USA is a mix of races.like Brazil.like Australia .Have you seen Obamas grandparents?
Completely white!!These racists like to think theres no mix between races in USA but soo there is.A person can look withe and have black family background and vice versa.And rock is the same thing,blues and country...
It's fun listening to them and The Wailers both. You can hear alot of the Wailers riffs in the Sonics stuff. Like the riff here comes from The Wailers, "Livewire."
@VlogasaurusFlex The Sonics and Wailers were probably the best of the Seattle bands...but the Pacific Northwest was responsible for some totally amazing sounds...SONICS RULE!!
I remember them performing it live on a TV show called Revolver, 78 or 79, it only ran for about 6 weeks and was hosted by Peter Cook ?!? dunno if any footage exists, must check. Overkill live on TOTP almost gave my dear old mum a stroke : )
A sax is a horn. It just isn't brass. It's still a horn. It's a woodwind horn. A trumpet is a brass horn. A horn is anything you blow into and has a bell shape at the end of it. A flute and it's kind are not horns.
omg from the first second til the very last i can't control myself and just keep dancing. and when it's finished, i'll just play it again and dance again.
@SlickSputta fuck you and your white pride and fuck black pride too. PEOPLE invented rock n roll, just leave it at that.
anyways, black people were a lot more influential on the creation of rock n roll. and, in my opinion, little richard is the "father" (if such a hierarquy is even pertinent) of rock n roll, not elvis.
Cool! I'd always thought that the Sonics sounded like if Little Richard had fronted a punk band. Never heard this actual Little Richard song cover by them. These guys rocked so hard! Sometimes I wish I could time-travel back to '66.
These guys were the soundtrack for my youth! We would play their albums through a P.A. system with speakers hanging out my bedroom window while we played hoops in the driveway or worked on our cars. Like many kids of the day, we had a garage band that was inspired by the sound we heard from those vinyl LP's. Bob Bennett's drumming was as powerful as any rhythm maker I've ever heard and I still get that feeling I had then when I cue up "have Love Will Travel" or "Strychnine" on my IPod. REAL ROCK
Yes, sir, this girl Jenny's gonna give you her number - 867-5309 !!!!
