You're only given a little spark of madness. You mustn't lose it. — Robin Williams
The guy could play, sing, and was an influential performer; an underrated icon. RIP Little Richard
I’m grateful that even at an early age I knew the difference between Little Richard’s Long Tall Sally and Pat Boone’s version. And I knew which one was better. He used to say, if Elvis is the KING of rock and roll, then I am the QUEEN!” Lol. Flamboyant and raw and true to,himself. Many years ago I met him in the lobby of the Hyatt hotel on the sunset Strip. (I later found out that was where he lived when he was not on tour.). I was living in NY but had come out to LA on business. I saw him, introduced myself, chatted very briefly and we parted. When I got back to the hotel that night the desk clerk said, “ oh, I have something for you.” It was an autographed picture of little Richard with a note. Very classy.
