I was looking for a quote to go along with this image and came across:

“Black people lived right by the railroad tracks, and the train would shake their houses at night. I would hear it as a boy, and I thought: I’m gonna make a song that sounds like that.”

Not knowing much- OK, not knowing anything at all- about Little Richard, I listened to some of his songs. And everything seems to sound like the rythm of a train running behind his vocals; Tutti Frutti, Long Tall Sally, Good Golly Miss Molly, Lucille, Rip It Up….

Here, just give a listen!
