Love's Johnny Echols on Playing With Little Richard vs. Chuck Berry
Johnny Echols made his rock n' roll name with Love, serving as lead guitarist and a writer on the iconic Los Angeles group's first three albums -- and now leading the current incarnation of the band. Before that, however, Echols had an association with the late Little Richard, in the studio and even touring with him in Europe. The relationship actually dates back to the Memphis-born Echols' childhood in California, and on the same day Richard was laid to rest in Alabama, Echols -- one of the artists featured in Epix's upcoming Laurel Canyon docuseries, premiering May 31 -- recalled his experiences with rock's indelible Quasar.
