    One of the true innovators, a genuine legend.

    Henners sums it up well.

    Not sure that he divides opinion - he never behaved like Jerry Lee...    

    RIP The Georgia Peach.

    Joe Brown had a great story about his mate in his skiffle band coming round and practically dragging him to his house to hear a 78 of Tutti Frutti for the first time. Joe said it was like being electrocuted, suffice to say he lost interest in skiffle at that precise moment.

    A real larger than life character, if you can get hold of The life and times of Little Richard: The Quasar of Rock, by Charles White, you won’t be disappointed.

    RIP
    Agreed - great book, I met Charles "Dr. Rock" White many years back - nice guy and he sure knows his stuff!

    I had a copy of this signed by the man himself. Picked it up for 20p in a second hand bookshop in Camberwell! Unfortunately it got water damaged in a flood and the book and autograph were unsalvageable.

    RIP Little Richard

    When I went to LA in the mid 90s and stayed at the Hyatt on Sunset, I was told Little Richard was a permanent resident in the penthouse suite

    RIP

    He was a one off inspiration to all Rock N Rollers who came after him. There will never be another Little Richard.

    If rock n roll traced its history, Little Richard would be at the very top of the family tree.
    A true innovator who helped change the lives of a certain generation and in doing so changed the lives of every generation that followed.

    RIP Legend.

    RIP. At least it gives me an excuse to play the drum intro to Keep A-Knockin’ and see how many people think it’s Rock And Roll by Led Zeppelin.

    Watched him live at Woolwich Odeon(?) in the 60s, I believe Chuck Berry was another one on the list of artists that night. Brilliant evening.  RIP

    Saw him play live at the London Rock 'n' Roll Show at Wembley Stadium, 5th August 1972.

    Unbelievable energy and showmanship, absolutely tore the place up, along with Jerry Lee, Chuck Berry, Bill Haley and Bo Diddley.

    What a day and night that was!

    RIP Little Richard Penniman.
