Biography

Richard Wayne Penniman bekend onder de artiestennaam Little Richard, was een Amerikaanse zanger en pianist. Hij is een belangrijke grondlegger van de rock-'n-roll. Hij wordt vaak in één adem genoemd met Chuck Berry, Elvis Presley en Buddy Holly. Door het gebruik van de piano vertoont zijn rock enerzijds overeenkomst met die van Jerry Lee Lewis, anderzijds met die van Fats Domino, terwijl hij met een grote nadruk op uiterlijk vertoon en kenmerkende hoge uithalen wel als voorloper van de glamrock gezien wordt.
