Good Golly, Little Richard

3:00pm - 5:00pm

Richard Wayne Penniman (December 5, 1932 – May 9, 2020), known professionally as Little Richard, was an American singer, pianist, and songwriter. He was an influential figure in popular music and culture for seven decades. Described as one of the principal Architects of Rock and Roll, Richard's most celebrated work dates from the mid-1950s, when his charismatic showmanship and dynamic music, characterized by frenetic piano playing, pounding back beat and powerful raspy vocals, laid the foundation for rock and roll. This encore presentation was broadcast just days after his death and features many of his 1950s hits as well as an interesting cover of each song.
