That's a shame, I bloody love Little Richard, was listening to Here's Little Richard yesterday, it still sounds so good so raw, I know he was old and shouldn't have lasted as long as he did but.. he had quite the life. Edited May 9, 2020 by Harry Wiseau I'll blame my phone for a typo Quote Link to post Share on other sites

theironshake 75 Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 My First Gig ever was 1995 seeing Little Richard and Chuck Berry. I've been to hundreds of gigs and I've still never seen a performer like Little Richard. Personality still a great voice he had everything. I have almost every album he ever recorded including the gospel ones after he first quit Rock n Roll. I'm stunned how raw and fresh his specialty recording still sound. RIP Richard Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paid Members Sergio Mendacious 1,389 Posted May 9, 2020 Paid Members Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 An astonishing innings, can't believe he made it to his 50s, let alone his 80s. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paid Members Nostalgia Nonce 1,431 Posted May 9, 2020 Paid Members Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 In fairness, it's astonishing that he didn't end up hanging from a tree when you consider the era in which he was doing what he did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paid Members jazzygeofferz 2,153 Posted May 9, 2020 Paid Members Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 87 is a great age, I'll bet he did quite a lot of rocking and rolling in his time as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keith Houchen 16,896 Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 A mate of mine did his PhD on the history of drag, he told me the Buddy Hollys Cock story as referenced in his thread here.  Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paid Members Nostalgia Nonce 1,431 Posted May 9, 2020 Paid Members Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 I don't know if it's the same story (I can't see the replies as I don't have the Twitter app on this phone), but whenever Little Richard is mentioned, I can't help but think of the story of him and Holly sharing a woman backstage, only for Holly to be announced by the MC. Holly pulls out, tucks it back into his trousers and walks on stage. According to Richard, Buddy had the biggest cock he'd ever seen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paid Members Bellenda Carlisle 2,064 Posted May 9, 2020 Paid Members Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 (edited) I love flamboyant characters who live their gimmicks for years, terrible day for those types. R.I.P. Sad to hear about Roy, was a big fan of magic as a kid and wrote to Siegfried and Roy, they sent me this pic which was nice of them and a big deal to me at the time. I was such a fan I even didn't find it funny when his tiger attacked him that time.  Edited May 9, 2020 by Bellenda Carlisle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
