Little Richard, the legendary singer and pianist whose energetic performances laid the foundation for rock and roll in the 1950s, has died at the age of 87. A consummate showman, Richard’s music combined gospel, boogie-woogie, and his own ferocious energy, creating something that created a blueprint for generations of rock and rollers, yet sounded like nothing recorded before or since. Per Rolling Stone, his death was confirmed earlier today by his son, Danny Penniman. The cause of death is currently unknown.
The Guy had talent.
