Little Richard
I got a girl named Bony Maronie, she's as skinny as a stick of macaroni.
Little Richard
I am the innovator. I am the originator. I am the emancipator. I am the architect of rock 'n' roll!
Little Richard
People called rock & roll 'African music.' They called it 'voodoo music.' They said that it would drive the kids insane. They said that it was just a flash in the pan - the same thing that they always used to say about hip-hop.
Little Richard
I always knew I was a man, always felt that I was a man, always wanted to be a man.
Little Richard
