RIP Little Richard. Sui Generis.

Without wanting to sound too personally critical - it’s great to point out
how influential Little Richard was - it frustrates me when articles about
the loss of Little Richard, Chuck Berry etc focus on how much the Beatles,
Stones and Dylan liked them. Little Richard’s best records are still wild,
extraterrestrial and joyous, they speak loud and clear for themselves
