Love's Johnny Echols on playing with Little Richard vs. Chuck Berry.
Johnny Echols attends Gibson GuitarTown III celebrating the 2013 Sunset Strip Music Festival on July 17, 2013 in West Hollywood, Calif.
I met Richard the first time through my uncle. He used to manage the California Club, which was what they used to call part of the Chitlin' Circuit, and I met Richard there. But then Richard also used to come through the neighborhood when I was a kid growing up; I think he had a relative that lived in our neighborhood, and he used to come and hand out dollar bills to the kids. I knew him from that long before I met him musically.
He was an absolutely different person than the rock n' roll persona he developed and husbanded. He was a very intelligent man, a very well-spoken, soft-spoken man. And it was really strange, almost like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.
