Rock ‘N’ Roll Pioneer Little Richard Has Passed Away at 87

According to RollingStone, Rock ‘n’ Roll pioneer Little Richard has passed away. Richard had a slew of hits like “Tutti Frutti,” “Long Tall Sally,” “Good Golly Miss Molly,” and more. His signatures riffs and runs helped separate him from the pack, and led to him being imitated by many, but never duplicated. His music was covered by many, like The Beatles and Elvis, and he was studied by the greats as well. His artistry led him to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s first class of inductees in 1986.
