B-Man Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 I'm so sad to see that. Here's my favorite Little Richard song: Well, along about ten I'll be flying high/Rock on out unto the sky/'Cause I don't care if I spend my dough/Tonight I'm gonna be one happy soul...Rock on out unto the sky, Richard... tonight and forever 3
Helpmenow Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 Jerry Lee Lewis (killer) is left. Richard had such a big influence on Macca, Fogerty who covered his songs.
Buddo Posted May 9, 2020 Posted May 9, 2020 R.I.P. A big influence in many ways, on those who came after him.
Irv Posted May 10, 2020 Posted May 10, 2020 Got odd an elevator in Reno, NV and who was getting on? Little Richard. Holy Crap. Brush with greatness.

Expand One of the cooler videos I've seen... I mean, just the piano players were Little Richard, The Killer, Fats Domino and Ray Charles. Not to mention people like BB King, Bo Diddley, James Brown, et al. For the younger generation, its like a 50s-60s version of X-Men Infinity Wars, Rock and Roll edition. 1
CookieG Posted May 10, 2020 Posted May 10, 2020 and in the "Is this even a question?" category... Who Did It Better? - Little Richard vs. Pat Boone 1

Expand The Beatles & Rolling Stones -among many others-claim he was extremely instrumental in their musical styles and did a few copies of his songs, notably Long Tall Sally. That’s enough for me to be a fan. Thanks, LR, for your contribution to Rock & Roll. R.I.P.
apuszczalowski Posted May 11, 2020 Posted May 11, 2020 He led an interesting life, seemed to have many battles over his religious upbringing and his sexuality/rock & roll lifestyle over the years. I also heard he officiated Demi Moore's wedding to Bruce Willis?

Missing Stevie and Aretha, but man, one helluva line up! Who was the white dude singing though?
