I only saw him once; preaching in a baptist church. It was the most rock n’ roll thing I’ve ever seen.
RIP Little Richard, you done good.

Certainly unique, and his influence on countless other musicians is undeniable. RIP

RIP. An icon, a trail blazer, an original, one of the foundation stones of rock'n'roll. So many owe a debt to him.

Check out the energy & vibe in this clip. I reckon there was a whole lotta shakin' going on for everyone that went to that concert once they got home.
I'm pretty sure the guitarist is playing a Guild - Duane Eddy with white Dearmonds?
