Yet another tragic loss from that era in rock history. Somewhere, there is a great rock and roll party going on with all those that have left us.

At 87, one certainly can't say he didn't have a long and full life. I remember him and his music from my earliest childhood. He did it the way he wanted to, and made a memorable career of it. Well played, Little Richard.

I can never forget his hairdo and Little Richard playing his piano.
Singing and Dancing.

He put on a great show...we saw him at Walt Disney World’s Garden Rocks concert during Flower and Garden at Epcot or maybe it was eat to the beat during food & wine festival, it had to be 12 years ago? It was before his hip surgery....he came out on crutches, sat at the piano and gave probably the best show I’ve ever seen at Epcot. He did get up and move around a bit, but you could see he was in a lot of pain. Never saw him live before that. Always loved his music. RIP.
