Gonna get rich quick

Linda Lamb
One of my favorites, and little known. This was his first rca recording? Long before he hit the big time. Great lyrics and rhythm.
Kev R
Actually his 1st recording was in 1951 the song is called Taxi Blues - get rich quick is his 3rd recording my friend.

So much like Roy Brown. There is argument about the date of this recording but it was either January or February in 1952.

Would not know this was LR. Sounds nothing like he did in later years.
Nathaniel Ledoux
Elvis is thé King of rock n roll ... Little Richard is thé greatest piano player who live'd and hes alive and kicking it ... Love little Richard im à big fan
Lisa Berglund
Elvis would have been nothing without Little Richard. He and Chuck Berry are the true kings of rock and roll.
Marc Engelhard
For Many White People Elvis Is "The King", That`s Different On The Black Side And Not A Few Think, Presley`s Part Is And Was A Way Of Propaganda And Racism.
Tim Carr
In the r&r domain L.R. had stiff competition for the greatest piano player from Jerry Lee Lewis. I prefer the pianist Floyd Cramer. There have been classical pianists who would roll over those three.
