Esquerita: The Hidden Influence Behind Little Richard

 Before Little Richard changed music forever, there was Esquerita—a fearless, flamboyant, genre-bending pioneer whose influence has been largely erased from mainstream history.

Little Richard talks about Esquerita

 Just heard on Kogar.

Little Richard All around the world 1958

 Here

They had this on the Pack Horse jukebox. Susan used to put it on. B-side of the Girl Can't Help it. The Pack Horse was a bit of a refuge for us away from the hustle and bustle of the town centre. People knew they could find us in the back bar. When it closed we had a big session that ended up with us drinking all sorts of leftovers. We practiced there (upstairs where we stored the gear too) and used to have a roast dinner on Sundays so we were regulars. Towards the end they used to ask us what we were drinking and go to the shops and buy it. I think the brewery had stopped delivering. Now closed possibly becoming offices.
