More quotes by Little Richard
But I'm a rock 'n' roll singer that's my livelihood, my occupation.
Little Richard
That's what Tina Turner did, too - sang blues up-tempo - and they called it rock 'n' roll.
Little Richard
I tried to look presentable for a show, but not for sexual attraction. It was strictly for show business.
Little Richard
I'm very much a gentleman in what I do.
Little Richard
I thank God for making me a man.
Little Richard
I was directed and commanded by another power. The power of darkness. The power that you've heard so much about. The power that a lot of people don't believe exists. The power of the Devil. Satan.
Little Richard
I invented rock & roll. Jimi Hendrix was my guitar player. James Brown was my vocalist.
Little Richard

Little Richard

Little Richard
And I'd like to give my love to everybody, and let them know that the grass may look greener on the other side, but believe me, it's just as hard to cut.
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
I don't give the devil credit for creating nothing.
Little Richard
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'm a conductor of revivals. The only minister in the whole package. Little Richard, the evangelist.
Little Richard
I let people know that it was all right to do the kinds of things I did.
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 just want the world to know that God is present, that he's alive for ever more.
Little Richard
I also like the banging piano - that old good-time piano.
Little Richard
