Little Richard
"The Innovator, The Originator, and The Architect of Rock and Roll"
Inducted by Roberta Flack
Refer to Wikipedia for Little Richard's career, legacy, and discography.
As with Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard's personal life was not one to condone and has tainted my view of him as a person. As a musician, he was talented and earned his honors.
