Diamond Dogs - Video zu "Great Gosh A’ Mighty"
The first video after returning from the band’s recent visit to the US, where they received a direct invitation from the city council in Macon, Georgia. During their stay there, Diamond Dogs performed exclusively for the locals at the city’s grand amphitheater, met up with friends and relatives of Little Richard, Otis Redding and The Allman Brothers, and recorded new original material at the legendary Capricorn Studios.
This video is a declaration of love for Little Richard.

Diamond Dogs may be a bunch of renaissance rockers deeply rooted in the early 70s British rock and roll, but just like their forerunners, they owe almost everything to Little Richard, the architect of it all! It's impossible to even imagine rock and roll without him.
One of Diamond Dogs' early tunes is called 'Lunatic Eye-Rolling Delivery' which is a line nicked from a concert review of Little Richard, and we believe it sums up the essence of his greatness pretty well. He was much more than a rock pioneer, the way he dressed up and spoke was something the world had never experienced before.
Little Richard got Paul McCartney to write 'I Saw Her Standing There', got James Brown a new haircut, and put a silly little mustache on Prince!
So, the idea of recording a homage to the true king of rock and roll had been with the band for many years when Chris Spedding one day called Sulo and asked if they should record something together. Of course, Sulo immediately said yes, and then asked him to join Diamond Dogs in the upcoming studio session to record some well selected Little Richard gems for an LP. All said and done, and Chris was extra thrilled that his favorite 'Send Me Some Lovin'' was among the songs that were picked.
And on a cold and windy January day the Dogs gathered eith the new old puppy in the sweet premises of Dog Pound Studios, along with their beloved friend and engineer Jonas Åhlén.
