RIP, Little Richard.

Richard Wayne Penniman
(December 5, 1932 – May 9, 2020)

The great Little Richard has passed away at 87.

Maybe due to his over-the-top personality, lots of folks today don’t realize just how incredible Little Richard was. Take a look at his scenes in Frank Tashlin’s The Girl Can’t Help It (1956, above), and you’ll see what I mean.
