Little Richard

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 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
God gives us the ability, but rock 'n' roll was created by men.
Little Richard
We're gonna have some fun tonight.
Little Richard

Little Richard
