AllMusic[1]

Shake It All About is a children's music album by Little Richard, released on Disney Records in 1992.[2][3] The album followed the success of Richard's rock and roll-based cover of "The Itsy Bitsy Spider", which convinced Disney to allow Richard to record an album of children's songs in his trademark rock and roll style.[4] In addition, Richard re-recorded his older hit, "Keep A-Knockin'", and the gospel standards, "When the Saints Go Marching In" and "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands".

Critical reception

The A.V. Club wrote that "the album proved that there was pretty much nothing you couldn’t improve by applying Richard’s soaring vocals, distinctive 'whoo!'s and uptempo piano work."[5]
