The world lost another legendary musician this weekend. Founding father of Rock and Roll Little Richard died Saturday at the age of 87 from bone cancer.
Little Richard’s contribution to music is immeasurable, known for such hits as 1956’s “Tutti Frutti,” “Long Tall Sally” and Rip It Up,” as well as 1957’s “Lucille” and 1958’s “Good Golly Miss Molly.” Richard, born Richard Wayne Penniman in Macon Georgia, influenced loads of musicians, with his songs covered by the likes of artists like the Beatles, the Everly Brothers, the Kinks, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and more.
Back in 1991, Little Richard also appeared in the video for Hank Williams, Jr's song "If It Will, It Will." I remember The Nashville Network playing this clip, and even knowing what was coming up in it, I still laughed when Little Richard and Hank Jr. came out of their dressing rooms dressed as each other.
