You right about esses. I forgot them as also Little Richard's esses were quite strong. Maybe I should also spend one hour with them. On the other hand, if it's too difficult to me, I'd prefer loud esses than poorly fixed esses.
There's some magical energy in that "Lucille" that I used as a reference. I was after a similar spacious dry sound, but I didn't succeed it the way I wanted to. ( In other words, I failed
)

Everything is done "wrongly" in that version but it still feels like a hit. That's something I'd love to learn: to break every rule and still make it sound magical to target audience.

Probably spent a full hour on just that and ended up using two per vocal, one HP and one BP focused on the worst bit (about 9k on him) and even then, he's hard to handle.
