Quite spectacular that he made an appearance on the Christmas at Pee-wee's Playhouse TV movie!

When Lemmy Kilmister thinks you're cool, well, you can't get much cooler than that. Cool cat!

Cooke invented soul, Richard invented Rock And Roll, and was a great soul artist. "I Don't Know What You've Got But It's Got Me" is a masterpiece.

All the big rock and roll legends had one thing in common, they sang Little Richard's songs. All except for Chuck Berry. Therefore, Chuck Berry and Little Richard are the King and Queen of rock and roll. And that is a fact!

There are still no statements from people saying "I almost stepped on Little Richard", so probably this is his stage name.

could be... Little Richard had quite a large libido, with a preference for orgies with as many people as possible making love to each other regardless of gender. Unless of course he happened to be going through one of his christian purity phases.

Was anyone singing in this distorted high-pitched style, that would later dominate hard rock and metal, before Little Richard? Seems really ahead of his time.

How sad, I was scrobbling him in January and April. I was starting to get more into his music and then dies in May...

If there is some sort of afterlife, I hope he's having a cool time with Fats Domino, Chuck Berry, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, Bo Diddley, Elvis Presley and even Mickey Hawks!

It always puzzled me, why was Uncle John so interested in bald-headed Sally? I mean, she's got no hair, you know? But only in Richard's death does it occur to me that Sally is LONG and TALL... which likely compensates for being bald-headed. And who knows, maybe Aunt Mary was, well, frumpy. After all, she couldn't catch Uncle John, all he had to do was jump into the alley. Wooo!

Originator. Legend. Icon. Those words get thrown around pretty freely nowadays, but there's no doubt they fit Little Richard, his immense talent for performing and that still unmatched voice. Rock n roll history just lost perhaps the last link to it's birth as a genre. Thank you isn't enough. I'm not sure what words are. Rock n roll has been my life. I have "Rock N Roll" on a banner wrapped around a broken heart tattooed on my arm. Losing Little Richard, and Chuck Berry just a few years before. Impossible to imagine what may have become of the musical landscape without those two, and a handful of others of course, but man, time to crank the tunes and pay homage to an icon. Rest Easy and I humbly bow to you, Little Richard.
