His song "Ooh My Soul" was totally ripped off by Ritchie Valens on "Ooh My Head", which was totally ripped off by Led Zeppelin on "Boogie With Stu"

Rockin' With The King - with Canned Heat 1971
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OIobMdTGGU
In 1971 Little Richard corroborated with Canned Heat for a single after they toured together for a couple shows circa new year's eve. Anyway, the end result is entitled Rockin' With The King and is considered by Little Richard aficionados as the best thing he had done up to that time since the late 50s. For a laugh, wait to hear Little Richard to tell himself to shut up a little after 2:20 mark. Sax on this incredible live track, recorded over two days spliced together, is the great, Lee Allen.

I'm in Love Again - UPSETTERS 1960

Not officially credited here, but Little Richard does the vocals on this Fats Domino song from 3-4 years earlier.
Little Richard was supposedly retired from popular music, but still under contract to Specialty for anything but Gospel releases. So he when wanted to do a rock and roll song, he had to do it without any billing.

Dew Drop Inn 1970

Also from his Reprise LP but probably the most reminiscent of the 50's Specialty sound. Lee Allen on sax.
Interestingly co-written by Esquerita, who was Capitol Records answer to Little Richard in the late 50s and recorded some really cool stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILmYZK8JoCQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GugkuqYcAEA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyTLpdSiiv4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfBKF2X-MjU Turns out he was personal friends with Little Richard knowing him before either had recorded.

He runs out of breath at the end, but it is one of those mistakes that seems to improve the song.
