RIP Little Richard

Never cared for his stuff

Preferred Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson, Fats, some Ray Charles, Bobby Bland, Nina Simone, Chubby, and the JLL, JC, EP, HW white country of that era.

Guy was talented thou, no doubt.

Well this guy Harrell just died and that would make it 3. I guess he was a big name in the music industry.

Andre Harrell, record exec who discovered P. Diddy and founded Uptown label, is dead at 59

Ozzy has been dead for years basically if you hear him talk today..

..

Not sure what's kept him alive this long? He claims he drinks 12 cups a tea every day and swears by it and that is the secret.. I remember him saying that in his documentary I saw years ago.

Became a minister and denounced rock n roll after his big hit. Put out another album 5 years later.

RIP...Little Richard
Innovator of Rock 'n Roll to the core.
The energy, the outrageous music and the unprecedented behavior in the 1950's
was like a thunderbolt across sedate America.

Tutti Frutti Baby!!
