263. "Good Golly Miss Molly"was one of the first songs the Beatles did when they were in Hamburg, Germany

Little Richard was a huge influence on the early Beatles.
Their high-voiced wails came directly from listening to Little Richard records.
He was also a huge influence on Jimi Hendrix, who said that he wanted to do with his guitar what Little Richard did with his voice.

He's still alive, at 83, but he's been confined to a wheelchair since a 2009 hip surgery that went wrong:
"I went in for surgery on my hip..I was walking on my way in; but I couldn't walk out.
The hip surgery was really bad for me...I haven't walked since..I'm in pain 24 hours a day."

In 1955, after years on the "Chitlin' Circuit"..Little Richard's big break came when he signed with Specialty Records in New Orleans:
In the studio, Specialty's Producer Bumps Blackewll found a wild-dressing, wild-talking man with his hair waved up half a foot.
But Blackwell thought that the first tracks they recorded were too mild, too milquetoast, especially for a guy whose stage act was famously outlandish and untamed.
"If you look like Tarzan and sound like Mickey Mouse it just doesn't work out," Blackwell later explained.

Little Richard is not just a legend but one of the last people alive among that first wave of rock and roll, the prime movers and shakers.

"Keep Little Richard in your prayers..Praise and thanksgiving..And intercession too.
May he find comfort and ease.
May he find a little more of that old rhythm, a little more of that wild light."
