Little Richard
Modern rockers owe much to Little Richard, who was one of Rock ‘n Roll’s pioneers. While many younger generations of rock fans might not even know who he is, Little Richard was responsible for helping the genre as a whole take off and evolve into what it is known as today. He was a highly energetic and bombastic individual who wrote songs like Long Tall Sally and Tutti Frutti. Richard succumbed to a long fight with bone cancer.
