The creator of Rock N Roll, the one who influenced the Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, the Rollings Stones, Bowie, Kurt Cobain, Elvis ... Little Richard has left us. The music owes him a lot. Rest in peace
Rest easy Little Richard. Rock with Buddy Holly, Elvis, Bill Haley, Phil Everly, Ritchie Valens, The Big Bopper, Bobby Darin, Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Roy Orbison, Fats Domino, etc. Thank you for the music.
The first musical artist who was like that : so free, so wild, so rock'n'roll. He opened the door to the next ones, and particularly, according to me, to the gifted one among them : Prince. R I P Richard, with Prince, we'll be able to play jams forever in heaven.
John Lennon - "Little Richard was one of the all-time greats. The first time I heard ‘Long Tall Sally’ it blew our heads. We’d never heard anybody sing like that in our lives, all those saxes playing like crazy. It used to make your hair stand on end when he did that long scream into the solo."
Crushed to hear of his passing
I won’t shed tears though instead I’m gonna celebrate his life in the way I can only assume he’d want. I’ma have me some fun tonight
Keep on rockin Little Richard
