In more ways than one!

Richard told Joan Rivers in 1989 before looking at the camera and addressing Prince. “I was wearing purple before you was wearing it!”

I read that, too... I'm pretty sure I actually watched that interview

His voice was extraordinary, especially early on. Not to mention how influential his whole persona was, an archetype really. Glad he made it to a pretty ripe old age.

I always loved Little Richard's music. Check out his singing on this song.

A true musician, entertainer and helluva showman! He, along with James Brown set the standards for all the future generations. He will be sorely missed by so many. R.I.P. Little Richard and thank you for sharing your gifts with us!

I was just watching Predator last night and in the chopper scene realized it was Long Tall Sally by Little Richard playing.
