A true, one of a kind legend who influenced everything. Thanks for the memories, Mr. Penniman.

Very sad. He influenced so many of the rockers and musicians we listen to.

One of the pioneers, not only for the music but the presentation. Total legend.

RIP, sir.

I was lucky enough to see him perform live once, many years ago. He was amazing.

That's sad. A true rock and roll pioneer. Who's left from that era? Jerry Lee Lewis. Anyone other big names?

I echo many of the sentiments already expressed.
He was as much rock 'n roll as anybody.
There was no one else like him.

Rest In Peace

Bob Dylan just posted this on his Facebook page:
Quote:
I just heard the news about Little Richard and I’m so grieved. He was my shining star and guiding light back when I was only a little boy. His was the original spirit that moved me to do everything I would do. I played some shows with him in Europe in the early nineties and got to hang out in his dressing room a lot. He was always generous, kind and humble. And still dynamite as a performer and a musician and you could still learn plenty from him. In his presence he was always the same Little Richard that I first heard and was awed by growing up and I always was the same little boy. Of course he’ll live forever. But it’s like a part of your life is gone.

Such a legend, and a socio-cultural impact well beyond his music. He will be sorely missed.
