Interesting! That one I don't believe I've ever heard at all.

I love to hear the piano in alot of the 50s-60s music..big fan of Little Richard, that cat knew how to rock it..

Absolutely! Little Richard(R.I.P.) was both an accomplished keyboardist and a showman extraordinaire. He stretched the boundaries of pop music and laid the groundwork for the soul and funk genres that exploded onto the music scene in the 1960's.
