Little Richard

Little Richard
I try to be a guide for people, to make their darkness bright and to make the pathway light, and never to condemn or control or criticize.
Little Richard

Little Richard
I always knew I was a man, always felt that I was a man, always wanted to be a man.
Little Richard
I invented rock & roll. Jimi Hendrix was my guitar player. James Brown was my vocalist.

We're gonna have some fun tonight.
Little Richard
I also like the banging piano - that old good-time piano.
Little Richard
I look back on my life, comin' out of Macon, Georgia - I never thought I'd be a superstar, a living legend. I never heard of no rock and roll in my life.
Little Richard
