This is a cute piece that massages the tempo of one of the great rock and rollers of all time. The message is simple: Little Richard will help you run faster. Not an earth shattering insight, but it is sweetly told and accessible for listeners.
I think this piece would work well for news stations surrounded by other health and exercise segments. I am not sure it would work on a music station, but no matter, you be the judge on that.
A couple of technical notes: While the story telling is quite fine, it does a bit of time to get to the payoff. Also, the ending of the piece is quite a long music piece. You can pare it down or use it under announcer talk.
