Elvis Costello in the Kojak Variety liner notes:
I first heard Little Richard’s ‘Bama Lama Bama Loo’ in 1964. It was released on a yellow ‘London American Recordings’ 45. I have the record in front of me now. It’s an ‘A’ level copy which means I got it from my father.
During my Dad’s time singing...
