Little Richard - By The Light Of The Silvery Moon Lyrics






By the light of the silvery moon
I wanna spoon
To my honey I'll croon love's tune
Honey moon, keep a-shinin' in June
Your silv'ry beams will bring love's dreams
We'll be cuddlin' soon by the silvery moon

Little Richard By The Light Of The Silvery Moon Comments
  1. J.... E....

    Hail to the real KING !!!!!
    The ones who controled the music , never really gave him the recognition!!!
    But we all say thank you for being KING RICHARD !!!!!!

  2. P.... P....

    I Loved Leon as Lil Richard Never replace Just did Him justice.

  3. O.... ....

    Excellent. Genius LR’s version.

  4. J.... P....

    Little Richard God bless him. I always love this man's music I know he got ripped off but that's in the past we live in the present. The main thing is he will not be forgotten and his music will live forever. He still alive and kicking and he's probably outlived all those who ripped him off God bless Little Richard. This man has so much talent. And I know that he's struggling with himself and his own spirituality. But bless him for bringing it out in the open and sharing it with us. Always got a kick out of Little Richard. He has such a beautiful soul he had so much energy and yes he's just human and he had his flaws who doesn't.

  5. J.... A....

    My favorite rendition now!

  6. j.... s....

    The true Father of Rock n Roll.
    Chuck Berry was great, but this man changed music.

  7. V.... C....

    Where his knees at?

  8. b.... j....

    Still the king

  9. f.... f....

    This song was first performed in 1909 on Broadway, in "Ziegfield Follies of 1909"

  10. C.... O....

    He is THE ONE. Try to copy you'll never get even close.

  11. P.... S....

  15. J.... D....

    His pose on the thumbnail look painful

  16. A.... E....

    Back to the 59,s for me......I was only 14 at the time.....

  17. S.... C....

  23. J.... ....

    Although I love Little Richard greatly, I still think Ada Jones did it better

  24. O.... J....

    elvis él rey del rock and roll por siempre

  25. O.... A....

    he song the hell out this song I swear

  26. A.... M....

    He was fantastic. Copiers were rubbish

    I like this version but I still love Al Jolson's better

  29. E.... ....

    My favorite song now

    E.... ....

    QUEENSHALI true

  30. N.... M....

    He is the King! The originator, the innovator. Thieves may have stolen his music and copied his style but there's only one King and that's Little Richard! let the church say Amen!

    N.... M....

    Ada Jones fan listen lady, little richard was performing rock and roll before elvis knew what his cock was for!!!!! Therefore LITTLE RICHARD IS THE KING!!!

    N.... M....

    nicholas mccane, there's five kings : chuck berry , fats domino, bo diddley , little richard and hank ballard

    N.... M....

    Wonderful, yes. But he took a lot from Esquerita ( I believe that's the name). Admittedly he had a great talent. Wonderful to watch, too.

    N.... M....

    get your fucking ears checked

  31. P.... A....

    He only was the really " King of Rock ´n ´Roll "

    P.... A....

    @Cool Daddy No one but whites agreed that the mediocre Elvis was the King of Roll, an art form that blacks created..He was average at best in comparison to the black artists that he stole from.

    P.... A....

    @CStarz not true. Elvis was unique, had his own style which launched many copycats. I was a teenager then and saw the effect he had with whites, blacks, reds, yellows and any other colour you care to mention. He was admired by blacks who regarded him as 'the man' (Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Harvey Fuqua and others). I was a d.j and music journalist in the late fifties/early sixties and interviewed those mentioned above, so I know what I'm talking about. I'm sick and tired of young revisionists who are trying to change history...stop it.

    P.... A....

    @Cool Daddy Elvis said himself that he got his style from watching black artists. You judge from a biased point of view. He stole his way to the top, many of his popular songs were created and sung first by black artists. The only one revising history are superiority complex suffering whites like you. This is the reason why little Richard sung his songs differently, to keep whites from stealing his music and slapping their face and vocals over it.

    P.... A....

    @CStarz Yeh, your correct, Elvis was influenced by many black artists....but he took his influences and made something new. He was almost equally influenced by Hillbilly, Jazz and Gospel music. What he sang was no longer R'n'B but R'n'R. Elvis did not steal his way to the top. He just got out there and worked his butt off on the live circuit. His first few records sold well.....BEFORE THE PUBLIC KNEW HE WAS WHITE. It is wrong and despicable to say a white stole music while the many blacks who stole from other blacks is ok. Little Richard on the other hand copied the hair, make-up, style, music and voice of Billy Wright. Get you facts straight and do some research. It is you who are the revisionist as well as one who is bordering on being racist. You have no idea if I am white, black or another and it does not matter.

    P.... A....

    What a pointless argument. Everyone was influenced by someone else, everybody "stole". Bach was influenced by Vivaldi and on and on. Having the good taste to be influenced by the great black artists by Elvis, the Beatles, the Stones, and nearly all the rock and roll musicians of any color was a GOOD thing. This music did wonders to get white society to find something to love and admire in black culture and black people. Black music broke society's stupid boundaries, that a GOOD thing, no, a GREAT thing. Rock and roll helped to end the segregation bullshit and integrate society, that was a wonderful time, there was real hope in the air. Of course rock and roll did not start that, it continued it from the big band era that opened minds about black musicians and their talent. Sir Duke, the Mills brothers, Louis Armstrong, many others. How there is some kind of negative racial argument about white admirers/copiers of black artists in this, damn what a pity people have to be like that.

    Litlle Richard, that little Mr. Penniman is amazing. His voice isn't flexible enough to these evergreens but his open heart is!

  60. j.... v....

    Nice little track from Little Richard even though it's an old standard, but the sound is so week to listen, too week in my mind!

    j.... v....

    First learn how to spell w e a k! If you want to make a comment about the late, great Lil Richard! It never fails to amaze me how people criticize others talents when they don't even have the sense to recognize how to spell first grade words!

  61. P.... S....

    This is the first single I bought, in 1958. In 1993 I arranget a consert with LR in the Olympic Amfi ( figureskating ´94 ) in Hamar, Norway. In the middle of the consert Richard said that he new" By The Light" was the first record I bought ever, but his band did´nt know the song. Then he song it, alone ! I´ll never forget it, some times life is more beautifult as normal
