"Early One Morning" is a blues rock song written by Little Richard. It was originally released on his album The Fabulous Little Richard, and released by Specialty Records as a B-side single to "She Knows How to Rock" in November 1958.[1] The song derives from "Wee Baby Blues" by Big Joe Turner.[2] Turner's version features Ray Charles on piano, and was released as a single on Atlantic Records in 1957.[3]

Critical reception

Billboard (November 17, 1958):

The shoutin' cat is at his best on these sides. "Early One Morning," the great blues standard, is given a wild reading against driving ork support. "She knows," the flip, is a fast blues swinger that is also solidly belted. Both sides are safe bets to score heavily in both pop and r.&b. marts.[4]

Ike & Tina Turner version

Ike & Tina Turner recorded a version of "Early One Morning" for their 1973 album Let Me Touch Your Mind. Their rendition was released by United Artists Records as the B-side to the non-album track "With A Little Help From My Friends."[5] While the A-side didn't chart, "Early One Morning" reached No. 47 on the Billboard R&B chart and No. 60 on the Cash Box R&B chart.[6][7]
