He was a very talented musician and performer and Paul McCartney has mentioned in interviews that his singing style was very much inspired by Little Richard.

Before my time, but respect to the innovators. RIP.



The rusty wire that holds the cork that keeps the anger in
Gives way and suddenly it’s day again
The sun is in the east
Even though the day is done
Two suns in the sunset, hmph
Could be the human race is run

The Right Reverend Richard Pennimen has moved on. It is a sad day for us but a glorious day for that band in heaven.

The older I get, the more I realize I don't need to be Han, Luke or Leia. I'm just happy to be rebel scum...

Ground breaking and Legendary.
Much of the ground he broke was before my time and following his footsteps.
Rest in Peace Little Richard.
