Great showman. Called "Little Richard" even though he was 5"10".

Re: Vale little Richard

Condolences to his family and friends. Huge influence on the rock and roll scene of the 1950s. Very much before my time but at the time that rock and roll scene of the 1950s was the wild thing. Great photo BAD.

One of the great pioneers of rock and roll. The "Little" part came from his childhood, when, he was quite...er...little.

Vale, Little Richard.

On pretty much everybody who ever picked up a gee-tar. None ever came close to being as good though. But that's OK, there was only ever one Little Richard

Little Richard Pennyman played from his own song sheet. Was wearing lipstick and eye liner with the buffont hair back in the 50s. He was unique and had talent to burn.
