Tegnap egy újabb zenei ikonnal lett kevesebb a világ, elhunyt az egyetemes pop- és rockzene egyik legnagyobb újítója, Little Richard. A nyolcvanhét évet élt legendától, akit abszolút jogosan a rockzene keresztapjának is hívnak, persze a rock- és metalszíntér nagyjai is megemlékeztek, ebből mutatunk egy szép csokorra való összeállítást.

I grew up on the music of Little Richard. He was one of my fathers favorites and therefore he became one of mine. He was an amazing musician, writer and singer who always delivered a song with an unmatched level of energy and conviction. He was also one of a kind in terms of personality. A true innovator. My dad met him once and Little Richard said to him “I bet you drive all those little girls wild” - true story! We would watch his videos often throughout the years and we loved his spirit. He was definitely a huge influence within The Sweet household. May God bless you Little Richard and rest well� #littlerichard

I’m so saddened to hear about the passing of Little Richard, he was the biggest inspiration of my early teens and his music still has the same raw electric energy when you play it now as it did when it first shot through the music scene in the mid 50’s. When we were on tour with him I would watch his moves every night and learn from him how to entertain and involve the audience and he was always so generous with advice to me. He contributed so much to popular music. I will miss you Richard, God bless.

⚡️Little Richard⚡️The architect has left the building. I saw him headline a 50’s show at Madison Square Garden in the early 70’s. It was like being part of a Rock&Roll hurricane. RIP creator. #LEGEND #GOAT

It’s Little Richard’s songs that pioneered rock’n’roll. I got to hear him and his band at the Newport Lounge in Miami and boy were they good. ⁣ pic.twitter.com/JXgahhJAfk

Sadly, Little Richard passed away today. A founding Father of Rock And Roll, his contributions simply can’t be overstated. I had the honor of meeting Richard in his later years and was awed by his presence. He told me, “I am the architect of Rock And Roll.” Amen! ..Rest In Peace. https://t.co/ceQuNU6pkF

In the late 1980s, I was walking down Hollywood Blvd, a black limo drove by slowly, Little Richard waved at us from the back window with a crazy look on his face. A giant in Rock and Roll music.

RIP Little Richard. The man who invented It. Elvis popularized it. Chuck Berry was the storyteller. Richard embodied the Spirit of RocknRoll. Maureen and I were so honored being the first marriage he conducted. Were lucky to know him. He lives forever in the Underground Garage.

No @ledzeppelin just listen to the intro of “Rock and roll”sounds a bit like “Keep a Knockin”-met #LittleRichard a few times at the Hyatt on sunset, he was vibrant & talkative . He broke down huge walls and influenced many British lads- in turn that came back here to influence us https://t.co/i2nxFNEtlJ

Today we lost one of the Icons of Rock and Roll...I don't think Rock and Roll would have evolved the way it did without his dynamic and indelible style and performances... truly amazing!
A Legend that will always be loved and remembered as the heart and soul of Rock and Roll. RIP pic.twitter.com/R2A24ac2qN

I just heard the news about Little Richard and I’m so grieved. He was my shining star and guiding light back when I was only a little boy. His was the original spirit that moved me to do everything I would do.

I was once asked, “If u could meet one person, who would it be?” I always said Little Richard. Because, to me, he was rock & roll’s most joyous, rebellious innovator.
Thank u for planting that seed, Richard. The world is a much happier place thanks to ur music.#RIPLittleRichard pic.twitter.com/kiq2VOZs8O

Little Richard was a performer so riveting, so extraordinary, that #JimiHendrix was his sideman and #JamesBrown his opening act. THANKYOU for everything. THANKYOU for rock n roll. https://t.co/9AiUcBaOhk
