"Lucille" is a 1957 rock and roll song which was one of Little Richard's international hits.
Released on Specialty Records in February 1957, Little Richard's single made number 21 on the US pop chart,[2] and number 10 on the UK chart. It was composed by Al Collins (not the blues guitar player Albert Collins) and Little Richard. First pressings of Specialty 78rpm show Collins as the only writer. Little Richard bought half of the song's rights while Collins was in Louisiana State prison (Angola).
