RIP - Little Richard

Little Richard (Richard Penniman), one of the early pioneers of rock and roll, passed away today, May 9, 2020 at age 87.


My first exposure to him was through the Beatles' cover of "Long Tall Sally". Later I heard "Tutti-Frutti", "Good Golly Miss Molly", "Lucille", and the rest.
