Yes a great loss to the music world. Little Richard was a legend.

And while people usually say, "He lived a full life" as a matter of course when someone dies, in this case, dude... Little Richard lived a FULL life. All kinds of ups and downs. Definitely check out his Okeh LP, "The Explosive Little Richard" for a great treat.

A true legend & pioneer if ever there was one. Changed the face of music forever and was an inspiration to many. Lemmy idolised him.

R.I.P.

Little Richard does Northern Soul:

That later got covered by Eric Clapton.

And here's Little Richard doing "Land of a Thousand Dances" along with doing an undisclosed amount of some sort of stimulant... great track!
