It is hard to imagine what Rock music would have been without him.
His performance in Down & Out in Beverly hills cracks me up!
God Speed.

Quite the character, true Rock ‘n Roll pioneer who influenced many later big stars.

Everyone knows the name Little Richard, musical icon.

Had a good run, may he Rest In Peace.

He was to Paul McCartney as Chuck Berry was to Keith Richards.

I've never read anywhere that he influenced Jim Morrison, but after watching a 1966 concert film clip of LR in Paris today, I have to wonder if Morrison got some ideas about working an audience, from possibly seeing that film back in the day.
It involved the removal of clothing.
edit: I don't doubt that Mick Jagger copped some of his shtick.

About Us

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
