        Known for his piercing wail, pounding piano and towering pompadour, Little Richard irrevocably altered popular music while introducing black R&B to white America with hits including “Long Tall Sally” and “Tutti Frutti.” He died Saturday morning.http://apne.ws/WOTWvYO

        Little Richard sold more than 30 million records worldwide, and his influence on other musicians was equally staggering, from the Beatles and Otis Redding to Creedence Clearwater Revival and David Bowie.http://apne.ws/4e1cw0o

        Little Richard was the Queen of Rock n Roll. The best of the best. The guy who was a direct influence on the Stones, the Beatles & Prince. An amazing soul. GOD SPEED RICHARD.. RIP
