He inspired so many musicians, and was a true Rock-n-Roll legend.
R.I.P. Little Richard.
If you know what I'm doing, don't tell me .... I find bliss in my confusion.

He was such a flamboyant, whacky and ever present figure whom I adored as a kid in the 90s and 2000s. He had a presence on TV and music that was...just can't be replicated by anyone else.

Little Richard will always be a legend and an important part of my life.

May he rest in peace.

I grew up watching him, Elvis, Jerry Lee, Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper, etc. as a kid and into my teens. He was kind of over the top for TV back then, but did make his appearances every now and then, just like Elvis when they wanted to only show him on TV from the waist up.

Different times, different standards, but he was always fun to watch.

RIP Little Richard
