The world has lost another legend. Little Richard, one of rock's founding fathers who set the template that generations of musicians would follow, has passed away at 87. "Tutti Frutti,â âGood Golly Miss Mollyâ and âLong Tall Sallyâ are songs that have been woven into the tapestry of music history. Little Richard's flamboyant style and amazing piano skills set the tone for a generation of musicians from Elvis & James Brown to artist's today.
The musicianâs son, Danny Penniman, confirmed the music pioneerâs death to Rolling Stone, but said the cause of death was unknown.
