Little Richard: King and Queen of Rock`n'Roll

PëRMBLEDHJE

Little Richard can stake a claim on having invented rock`n'roll. A black artist who grew up in the segregated south of the United States, Richard Penniman broke down barriers and took 1950s America by storm. The Beatles and The Rolling Stones supported him and drew inspiration from his musicianship and stagecraft. He went on to influence artists as diverse as David Bowie, Elton John, Michael Jackson and Prince.
