Most of you know of my aff-FECK-shun for Little Richard. Fresh off of a half-time performance on Thanksgiving night at the USC-ASU game, The Originator is 75 years young today. So…..I wanted to make sure that the day was appropriately observed.
Here’s to an icon. The Architect of Rock & Roll. An indelible influence on 20th and 21st Century music. A lovely soul.
Happy Birthday, Richard Wayne Penniman!
Makes my toe shoot up in ma boot!

The Kennedy Center ain’t never seen movement like Ree Ree, LR, and the late, great Billy Preston.
Hallejuah, baby!

I honor and praise Little Richard for being himself. He is what he is and he puts it out as such. I love his song ( Directly to Your Heart) and it inspired me to write and record a song ( No Mistake Falling In Love With YOu). Happy birthday Richard and I wish you many, many more. My young daughter Lillie Ann loved your music. You are the best and the most.
