Little Richard Obit

      The White Citizens Council of North Alabama issued a denunciation of rock ’n’ roll largely because it brought “people of both races together.”

.....and Little Richard was a prime example of that.

He died today at the age of 87.



How big was he? The Beatles and The rolling Stones were his opening acts, early in their careers.  

He left Rock and Roll behind in the late 1950's and attended a Seventh Day Adventist ministerial college in Huntsville---now called Oakwood University. 

No immediate cause of death. The NY Times has an excellent obit HERE.
