Ulitzer95 12,622 Posted May 9, 2020 Good Golly Miss Molly. I turn my phone off for an hour and this happens. To be fair, I’m surprised he lived this long giving his decades of health problems. RIP. EDIT: Should point out that of the inaugural inductees of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986, only Jerry Lee Lewis and Don Everly of The Everly Brothers are still alive.

CoffinLodger 1,248 Posted May 9, 2020 The architect of rock and roll- a major inspiration and influence on Elvis Presley and the Beatles. Mick Jagger idolised him ,and the Rolling Stones used to be his warm up act.https://news.sky.com/story/little-richard-rock-n-rolls-founding-father-dies-aged-87-11985747 It doesn't get much bigger than this.
