The Explosive Little Richard by Little Richard

The Explosive Little Richard is the first album by Little Richard under the Okeh label, produced by Little Richard's long-time friend Larry Williams and Johnny "Guitar" Watson and reflecting the then current sound of Soul and Motown. A mixture of cover versions and originals, it featured no tracks penned by Richard himself. Despite the new direction, it failed to chart. However , two tracks had some chart activity , “Poor Dog (Who Can’t Wag His Own Tail)” and “Commandments of Love”. The opening track , “(You’re My Girl ) I Don’t Want To Discuss it”, went on to become a minor classic , however, recorded by Delaney and Bonnie and Friends , Rhinoceros, and Eric Clapton .
