Little Richard

One of the most honest and focused musical artists I've ever come across. Being gay and black in the 50s probably weren't the best social circumstances, but look what he managed to do with it! He could either be an outcast or play Rock 'n Roll. This album cover really strikes a chord with me when taking into account the musical context.

What do you think of Little Richard? Artistic genius or overrated?

  1. I like Little Richard style, he said that Hendrix was inspired on him... maybe it's true.

  3. Can I vote 'creepy'? He always looked scary to me when I was a kid.
