Little Richard (* December 5, 1932 in Macon, Georgia, as Richard Wayne Penniman; † May 9, 2020 in Tullahoma, Tennessee) was an American rock ’n’ roll singer, pianist and songwriter. During the most successful phase of his career at Specialty Records in the mid-1950s, the African-American musician combined stylistic elements from blues, gospel and rhythm and blues under the new genre designation “rock’n’roll” and thus transferred them into the musical mainstream. After high rankings in the rhythm and blues charts dominated by black artists, he managed to cross over into the genre-independent American pop market. His fast and powerful piano playing, his loud and over-turned singing as well as his energetic concerts inspired many well-known musicians.

In 1966 Little Richard signed to OKeh Records who teamed him up with Larry Williams in an attempt to reposition Little Richard as a mainstream soul proposition. The first single, Poor Dog, featuring Johnny ‘Guitar’ Watson, and its follow up, The Commandments Of Love, lived up to their hopes, updating his musical sound and putting him back in the R&B Top 50. A third US single, I Don’t Want To Discuss It, later covered by Delaney And Bonnie and Rod Stewart, was less successful as Little Richard was touring in the UK when it came out.
