Richard Wayne Penniman (born December 5, 1932), known by the stage name Little Richard, is an American singer, songwriter, musician, recording artist, and actor, considered key in the transition from rhythm and blues to rock and roll in the 1950s. He was also the first artist to put the funk in the rock and roll beat[2][3] and contributed significantly to the development of soul music.[4] The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame web site entry on Penniman states that:

He claims to be "the architect of rock and roll", and history would seem to bear out Little Richard's boast. More than any other performer -- save, perhaps, Elvis Presley, Little Richard blew the lid off the Fifties, laying the foundation for rock and roll with his explosive music and charismatic persona. On record, he made spine-tingling rock and roll. His frantically charged piano playing and raspy, shouted vocals on such classics as "Tutti Frutti", "Long Tall Sally" and "Good Golly, Miss Molly" defined the dynamic sound of rock and roll.[5]

  • This is okay, but is actually the 1976 rerecording, which can be seen on wikipedia (linking not allowed) under "Little Richard Live". (So called even though it obviously ISN'T live)

  • @ItsTerryTime

    You listeners catch things all the time....good one....I finally found the ORIGINAL recording....I did not realize this was a re-recording....and I agree, it is OK

    I think I can keep this up here, but I am going to add the ORIGINAL in FIVE minutes....then in a day or two, I will get rid of this one. I cannot edit this with new audio.

    THANK YOU for pointing this OUT !!!
