About James Wiggins

If the chorus to “Keep a’ Knocking” gets stuck in your brain, chances are good that you hear Little Richard’s voice on your mental soundtrack. After all, he is the artist who gets writing credit for the song, sometimes as Little Richard, sometimes as Richard Wayne Perriman. But the song’s basic framework was in place long before Little Richard put pen to paper, or for that matter, before he was even born, as James “Boodle It” Wiggins, recorded “Keep Knocking But You Can’t Get In” in 1926 for the Paramount label.
