Little Richard, Flamboyant Rock ‘n' Roll Pioneer, Dead at 87

Little Richard, the self-proclaimed “architect of rock ‘n’ roll” whose piercing wail, pounding piano and towering pompadour irrevocably altered popular music while introducing black R&B to white America, has died Saturday. He was 87.

I've had the pleasure of seeing Little Richard live in concert several times over the years, from his hay day to more recent times. What a showman! The true architect! RIP Richard, I'll keep playing your music, it's that good!
