Richard Wayne Penniman (December 5, 1932 – May 9, 2020), known professionally as Little Richard, was an American musician, singer, and songwriter.

Little Richard (titled Volume 2 in the UK) is the second album by American musician Little Richard, released in July 1958, ten months after Richard announced a retirement from rock and roll to pursue a life in the ministry. Like his first album, it largely contains previously released A-sides and B-sides including several which reached Billboard’s Rhythm & Blues and Hot 100 charts. Nine of its twelve tracks charted in the US including Richard’s fourth million-seller “Lucille”, the rock and roll standard “Good Golly, Miss Molly” and “The Girl Can’t Help It”, the title song from the motion picture of the same name. Among the previously unreleased tracks are two Tin Pan Alley songs recorded in Richard’s frantic style.
