(an influential figure in ‘popular music/culture’ for more than 6 decades, little richard’s most celebrated work dates from the ‘mid-1950s’, when his ‘dynamic music’ + ‘charismatic showmanship’ laid the foundation for ‘rock ‘n roll’)
(his music also played a key role in the formation of other ‘popular music genres’, including ‘soul’ + ‘funk’)
(‘little richard’ influenced numerous ‘singers’ and ‘musicians’ across ‘musical genres’ from ‘rock’ to ‘hip-hop’; his music helped shape ‘rhythm ‘n blues’ for generations to come, and his ‘performances’ and ‘headline-making’ thrust his career right into the mix of ‘american popular music’)
.
(‘little richard’ has been honored by many ‘institutions’)
(‘o the utter irony!’)
.
(here he is, half a ree-ree. 3 quarters queer, and a few shades darker than your average ‘hollywood homosexual’)
(he was inducted into the ‘rock and roll hall of fame’ as part of its first group of inductees in ‘1986’)
(he was also inducted into the ‘songwriters hall of fame’)
(he is the recipient of a ‘lifetime achievement award from the ‘recording academy’ and a ‘lifetime achievement award’ from the ‘rhythm + blues foundation’)
(little richard’s “tutti frutti” (1955) was included in the ‘national recording registry’ of the ‘library of congress’ in ‘2010’, which stated that his “unique vocalizing over the ‘irresistible beat’ announced a new ‘era’ in ‘music'”)
(in 2015, the ‘national museum of african-american music’ honored ‘little richard’ with a “rhapsody & rhythm award” for his pivotal role in the formation of ‘popular music genres’ and in helping to shatter the ‘color line’ on the ‘music charts’, changing ‘american culture’ significantly)
(black gay lover:)
“what’s that letter there, richard?”)
(he sighs)
‘another darkie award! when will those whiteboys ever notice me?” pat me on the boo…”)
