The 1971 return follow-up smash to The Rill Thing. • Mastered by Grammy®-winning engineer Michael Graves. • Lacquers cut by JeffPowell at Take Out Vinyl/Sam Phillips Recording Service in Memphis. • Packaging contains liner notes from Bill Dahl. Noone expected the power of Little Richard’s return in 1970 with The Rill Thing. The following year’s King Of Rock And Rollhelped demonstrate that it was no fluke. This time, instead of handling the production and arranging duties himself,Richard handed those responsibilities off to the multi-talented H.B. Barnum, a widely-respected actor, musician, vocalist,arranger and producer who was on call for the likes of the Supremes, Frank Sinatra, Count Basie, Aretha Franklin, andLou Rawls among others. From originals to covers of Motown classics, The Rolling Stones, Creedence ClearwaterRevival, Hank Williams, and Hoyt Axton’s “Joy To The World” (made famous by Three Dog Night), there was no doubtwho sat on the throne of popular music. This time around, “Green Power” was selected as the single with its flip, “DancingIn The Street,” but no chart action was to be had. Though Don Peterson’s striking cover photo likely attracted more thanone taker browsing the record stores in ’71. This album nicked Billboard’s pop album charts in November of ’71, andunderscored the obvious: The King of Rock and Roll was back! The King Of Rock And Roll is back as a 12" long playerand pressed on white vinyl with a printed inner sleeve that includes liner notes by Bill Dahl
