LITTLE RICHARD Quote on ELVIS PRESLEY

Little Richard once gave me a Bible!

From MC CARTNEY by CHRISTOPHER SANFORD

McCARTNEY by CHRISTOPHER SANFORD
page 150 of the hardback...


"Back in the old days, even John (Lennon) had been forced to concede that McCartney, unlike him, could pull off brilliant impersonations of high-octane Fifties rock 'n' rollers. And Paul was still a chameleon, or liked to portray himself as one. The first thing he did each afternoon when he arrived in the studio was to warm up by hollering two or three Little Richard and Buddy Holly hits, then casually switch to Dean Martin mode. Once or twice, he succumbed, to the charms of "That's Amore." McCartney's vocal on Lady Madonna was a particularly rich, unpigeonholable mishmash - Memphis-cum-high Vegas, with funk and soul and boogie-woogie all showing up for the party. It was Elvis with a sense of irony.
