The King of Rock and Roll The King of Rock and Roll is Little Richard's second album for Reprise Records, a follow-up album that contained one original Little Richard song, the gospel rock "In the Name" and a new song co-written by Producer H. B. Barnum, "Green Power", the single release; and versions of tracks by artists as diverse as Hank Williams, The Temptations, Martha and the Vandellas, Three Dog Night, and The Rolling Stones. The title track, a mock braggadocio that referenced Tom Jones, Elvis Presley, Ike & Tina Turner, Sly and the Family Stone, and Aretha Franklin, amongst others, upset some fans, although the album's title tune got good airplay in New York - a 1950s style jump blues, with an exceptional Little Richard shouting vocal! But fans and critics were further upset that the album did not feature acoustic piano and that most tracks were badly mixed, with an intrusive girl group chorus.

Shine! Shine! is a musical based on characters and situations found in the works of Horatio Alger, particularly "Ragged Dick" and "Silas Snobden's Office Boy", respectively Alger's first best-seller and the one first printed in book form eighty years after it was first serialized in Argosy. Its plot and characters focus on Alger's pervasive theme: that in America one could begin with nothing, and with the right attitude, hard work, application, and a little bit of luck, dream a dream and chart a course on which to achieve it. Richard Seff wrote the book, Lee Goldsmith the lyrics and Roger Anderson the music. Anderson and Goldsmith had previously collaborated on the musical "Chaplin".

I Wish I Had a Nickel "I Wish I Had a Nickel" is a song composed written by W.S. Barnhart and Tommy Sutton. The song was a hit for country singer Jimmy Wakely but is mostly associated with Hank Williams, who performed it on KWKH in Shreveport, Louisiana as part of the Johnny Fair Syrup radio show along with Wakely's other hit, "Someday You'll Call My Name." MGM obtained the right to these recordings and released "I Wish I Had a Nickel" as the B-side to "There's No Room in My Heart for the Blues" in 1956 as a posthumous single. Country music historian Colin Escott states that the Johnny Fair transcriptions "rank alongside Hank's most affecting work" and singles out the Wakely covers for particular praise: "The songs were trite and affectless in Wakely's hands, but Hank filled them with vengeance and unrequited longing."

They Call the Wind Maria "They Call the Wind Maria" is an American popular song with lyrics written by Alan J. Lerner and music by Frederick Loewe for their 1951 Broadway musical, "Paint Your Wagon", which is set in the California Gold Rush. Rufus Smith originally sang the song on Broadway, and Joseph Leader was the original singer in London's West End. It quickly became a runaway hit, and during the Korean War, the song was among the "popular music listened to by the troops". Vaughan Monroe and his Orchestra recorded the song in 1951, and it was among the "popular hit singles at the record stores" that year. It has since become a standard, performed by many notable singers across several genres of popular music. A striking feature of the song in the original orchestration (also used in many cover versions), is a driving, staccato rhythm, played on the string instruments, that evokes a sense of restless motion.

Nobody Else But Me "Nobody Else But Me", sometimes called "Nobody Else But You", is a 1946 jazz standard composed by Jerome Kern with lyrics by Oscar Hammerstein II for the 1946 Broadway revival of the musical "Showboat". The record, played in the key of E flat major, was originally "aimed at the light "cocktail jazz" market. It was recorded by guitarist Joe Pass for his album "Simplicity". "The Best of Joe Pass" by Wolf Marshall describes Pass's playing as follows: "Pass treats Nobody Else But You [Me] as would a jazz wind player, confining his statements to elegant single-note lines. In the head, he plays with the melody, embellishing the basic theme from his opening notes with a variety of rhythmic variations, short bop and swing licks, myriad phrasing nuances." "Saturday Review" said, "The cool melancholy of Pass's guitar has its charm, but it is a relict when the temperature rises a little and the musicians swing out on "Nobody Else But Me." "

Oom-Pah-Pah "Oom-Pah-Pah" is a lively and somewhat risqué show tune with music and lyrics by Lionel Bart and appearing in the musical "Oliver!", when it is sung by Nancy and the crowd at the "Three Cripples" tavern. The word "oom-pah-pah" is seemingly used euphemistically to refer to both intoxication and fornication; however, as the song points out, the word's meaning is only as dirty as the listener interprets it. Although not an original music hall song, it recalls that genre well and, in terms of both its tempo and suggestiveness, shares characteristics with such late 19th century songs as "Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay".

He reprised that theme, playing it during his set at at Madison Square Garden in New York City on December 12, 2012, where he changed lyrics to include the likes of "Breezy Point."
