Rock 'n' roll offered me a platform to speak what I felt. It also offered me a platform to support my mama and my brothers and sisters - twelve children.
Little Richard
I did what I felt, and I felt what I did, at all costs.
Little Richard
I'm very much a gentleman in what I do.
Little Richard
But I was singing loud, and most singers weren't singing loud.
Little Richard
We're gonna have some fun tonight.
Little Richard
If at first you don't succeed, you get back up and you try ... and you try ... and you try it again ... except ice skating, I hate this crap, I quit!
Little Richard
I was really kind of shy as a child. But I would do things for attention.
Little Richard
