Which of the three linked versions do you prefer?
Keep a Knockin' goes way back to 1928. All three below linked versions are enjoyable, but I prefer Little Richard’s version followed closely by Roger Taylor’s version. The Little Richard version seems to have a litle more energy to me, plus it was a number two hit on the U.S. R&B charts and reached number eight on the U.S. pop charts.
