LOL the first time I noticed Rich was when he went about being the architect and originator and that Prince and MJ stole his shit. At first I was like "who is this?" Then I heard his songs and saw he looked when he was younger and then I put two and two together and said, "ohhh..."

Richards, Sly Stone, and Sarah Vaughan are the only artist/musicians that made us stop and say, "What have we've witnessed." I and my brothers were dumbfound at what we just saw a heard. Richard had the energy of a nuclear bomb and hell of a musician. I don't care how crazy he was, how much he kicked that piano stool back, tutted his ass out, and bang on that piano he never missed a key or was off beat. You could hear a little bit of everything the born out of musical cultural of the Black community: Spirituals, Blues Swing, Jazz, Blues, Rock, Soul, and Funk. Richard was a principal architect off pulling it all together to create a sound that no one heard before.

Harle and have spoke about him at length via orgnotes, I have his bio on my table and for some reasons I haven't been able to read it. She told me it's not as painful ( for the lack of a better word) as I think. Maybe I'll read over the holiday, maybe.

I read parts of it on Google. It's not bad at all from what I read. Richard knew how to tell a story.

To Little Richard...

I love that Rock and Roll was pioneered by a gay man. Suck it, heteronormative rockers.

He was Bi-sexual. but either way the heteronormative rockers can still suck it lol

though after becoming a preacher he did denounce all homosexual behavior.

I think he's so cool too, and love that shut up of his!!!

Bisexual yes. For a time he did denounce it when he became born again (twice), but he's come to peace with his homosexual past.
