1972 Little Richard – Second Coming
The Second Coming was Little Richard‘s third album for Reprise Records, and saw him reunited with Robert “Bumps” Blackwell from his Specialty days, with them co-writing the majority of the album together. The concept was to unite the best rock studio musicians of the ’50s with the best rock studio musicians of the ’70s. Many fans were disappointed in the material and in the over-syncopated, over-produced tracks. The album again failed to chart.
