About Little Richard
Richard Penniman grew up in Macon, Georgia, singing gospel in church before he ever pounded a piano in a juke joint. By the mid-fifties he had a pencil mustache and a pompadour piled high, and a voice that could crack a window pane. Teenagers at the sock hop didn't need to be told what to do. The needle dropped and the whole floor filled up.
