What was already a terrible week for losses of musical greats has just become so much worse, following the departure of one of the very greatest:

Think of almost every vaguely rocky song you know. Without Little Richard's Tutti Frutti, it could very well never have existed. He was such an unbelievably seminal influence on what was to follow.

Total legend. RIP.

I've only just seen the news, matey.

Massive loss and as you say, a total legend - one of THE true greats and THE greatest rock and roll voice of them all, in my opinion.

RIP

A workmate from years ago used to play the album that song was taken from on our office stereo all the time, it was brilliant and was called 'The incredible little Richard' - there's no better description of the man.
