      Richard likes to say there wouldn't be any rock-n-roll without him but it actually existed before he started out; it just hadn't been introduced to white audiences. During Richard's heyday Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino and Elvis also contributed to laying the cornerstone of rock-n-roll.

    "Little Richard passed away this morning from bone cancer in Nashville, at age 87. He was living with his brother in Nashville," Dick Alen (Little Richard's manager) tells PEOPLE. "He was battling for a good while, many years. I last spoke to him about two or three weeks ago. I knew he wasn’t well but he never really got into it, he just would say 'I’m not well.' He’s been suffering for many years with various aches and pains. He just wouldn’t talk about it much.”

    • @JayLeePoe

      And even still... Richard sold millions worldwide at a time that was unheard of. He MADE Rock & Roll. I want to be clear here. He brought up James Brown and Otis and Mick like Rodney Dangerfield helped so many comics come up through the business and share ideas together.
      Elvis and them folk made it popular in civil, normal society later. See, it turned out that the Status Quo didn't realize how many fringe elements there really were and what they truly enjoyed. I'm telling you this from the perspective of a young person whose mother literally grew up during this period and honestly never understood the hype for Elvis or The Beatles even. Mick Jagger, James Brown, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, and Little Richard--
      You guys need to better research The Day The Music Died. These people were inventing new music that you now enjoy. Akira Kurosawa has notably amazing musical taste and he was heavil influenced by Jazz and Western Culture. That's why he plays so well here. He's rated pretty average in Japan.

    Little Richard is so underrated and under appreciated it is criminal. You can see Springsteen and Keith Richards react to his talent. Otis Redding had the same, extremely rare vocal quality (timbre) as Little Richard. Paul McCartney could sometimes approximate this sound. Ronald Iseley also had it. It is like a mixture of a saxophone and a human voice.
    Again, it is absolutely unforgivable that someone didn't give Little Richard more chances to record his magnificent voice after his initial run in the 1950's. And, why was he not given more credit for originating rock and roll? His songs were recorded by everyone: Fleetwood Mac, Johnny Winter, Frank Zappa, The Beatles, ...

He was doing gospel and asked me to listen to his new song on a cassette. I did and I told him that the gospel was great, but THIS is Little Richard! He was back. Was when the movie Down and Out in Beverly Hills. He was so sweet and a real peace guy. What a big thrill that was. Just had to share.
