Little Richard turns 80 on Wednesday

To celebrate this Radio 2 present a documentary on the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame member and soul music pioneer, still rocking more than 65 years after his first performance.

I still think his best performance was in the episode of Columbo titled The Murder of a Rock Star.

'Little Richard' sounds so much better than 'Small Dick', don't you think?

Frank Zappa and The Mothers recorded a Little Richard song. A million bonus points to anyone who can name the song RUMBABA

I have to confess, I had the album and didn't actually know it was a Little Richard song: it is credited to 'Richard Wayne Penniman'. It seems it was an outtake from the Hot Rats sessions.
