Super British cover version of the Little Richard song, recorded by the short-lived (died 1969) Dickie Pride. Terrific singer and a beltin' tune.

Someone on our local recycling website is looking for a recording of the B side to this record - does anyone know the title of it so they can search better? Thanks

@eliskac: It's called Don't Make Me Love You. I'll see if I can find time to record it and post it up here.

Dickie was my father.

He would have been 69 tomorrow and I'm thinking of him today and watching and listening to his music in tribute. I never got to meet him. He died when I was a baby.

Richard Ludt -Portland Oregon.

Some say he was the best we had in Britain, this is a great single, good to see the old green Columbia.

Isaw your father singing in a club over the top of Woolworth s in Downham in and he went down a bundle .I also spent a night with him in the (Allnighter )some times known as the( Flamingo) club in Soho .They asked him to come on stage and sing a song and he stayed on the stage nearly all night and had the place rocking .

This was around 1949 or 1950 ,he was with a girl called Jackie who I danced the night away with .He was a great guy .

Your dad was the very best singer around, he could do anything from rock n' roll to swing. A wonderful artiste who the kids loved to watch on Oh Boy. I have a tape made to DVD and his CD to remind me of a great singer.. Last year I was watching a an old rocker who asked the audience to name their favourite singer from the fifties. I said Dickie and he was bowled over, no one had ever asked for Dickie but he knew I was on the money

Very cool! He captured the energy of the song. ¿Who was this guy?

this is fantastic. the words are gibberish-completely wrong-adds to its charm!
