Into the arms of Jesus. A man of faith who admittedly fought against his own human nature most of his life in order to try and please his Maker.

I believe he was a Christian man. And his talent unique and unquestionable, as well as his place in music history.

So very sad. Great entertainer! Saw him live about 20 years ago at City Stages. His handlers carried him on stage. They walked right next to us. LR was talking the whole way. He sang Itsy Bitsy Spider and won my kids over. RIP Tutti Frutti out,

I listen to the radio most Sunday mornings and today the host is all in on Little Richard. This house is hoppin’

Radio host asked a question. Can you imagine the atmosphere in the juke joints when Richard first started playing?

If you are serious fan of Richard, here is an article about his guitarist from Muscle Shoals who was with him for 18 years. Some deep stuff. One of the musicians Richard liked was Bill Monroe. He called his music white man blues.
