<p>Little Richard was an American singer, songwriter, pianist, and recording artist. He was born on December 5, 1932 in Macon, Georgia, USA and passed away on May 9, 2020 in Nashville, Tennessee, USA. Known for his influential contributions to rock and roll music, Little Richard was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame as a performer in 1986. Additionally, he was honored with induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2003.</p>

Known as ‘the Architect of Rock ‘n’ Roll,’ the flamboyant rhythm and blues extrovert, Little Richard, made an incredible impact with unorthodox piano playing and rasping, shouted vocals, yielding a series of pivotal hits in the mid-1950s, but he abandoned secular music for gospel following a tour of Australia in 1957. Lured back into rock by promoter Don Arden, his UK tour featuring The Beatles as support, Little Richard Is Back was his comeback set for Vee Jay, his voice now deeper and seasoned; the range of covers are tackled with plenty of pep, and original ‘Groovy Little Suzy’ was co-written by Harry Nillson. All hail the King!
