Tabonga | 2,533 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 Better known by his stage name "Little Richard". He was a true groundbreaker in a lot of ways. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Count | 596 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 I feel bad for him. It had to have been incredibly tough growing up during that age and in the south being gay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferris Bueller | 508 Posted May 9, 2020 Share Posted May 9, 2020 If I remember correctly, James Brown got his start pretending to be Little Richard for concerts because it was before they were broadcast on TV and no one really knew what he looked like. And not in mean way, like Little Richard's management hired him to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
