...sad news, Mrs Eggs just shouted this through from the kitchen. Amazing voice, I have childhood memories of having the single ‘I got It’ in our house in the 60s.

As if we needed more evidence that America's in steep decline, we get this.

Dude did more than most to write the code of rock'n'roll.

It really was'nt in the early days mate, they made a lot of their synths and other electronic items because none existed on the market at the time, they started out in the mid 60's don't forget

honestly never realised they started out that early....kudos to them.....ahead of their time as the saying goes.

Him, Chuck Berry, Screamin' Jay Hawkins and Jerry Lee are the absolute originals of hell raising rock n roll. The Killer is the last man standing, somehow.

RIP Little Richard.

They started out as a slightly larger group and released an album under the moniker of 'The Organization' (now a very rare bit of vinyl if you can find a copy) prior to that though, there are also 3 albums that were never released that go back into the 60's, Autobahn was recorded in 68/69

In defiance of all logic. People speak of the unlikely longevity of Keith Richards. If Keef were older and more given to riotous living, he might be Jerry Lee.

And still performing 3 nights a week.

At some point we need to start thinking about the kind of world we want to leave behind for him and Willie Nelson.

...October 1962 must have been some gig at the Tower Ballroom, New Brighton, with The Beatles opening for the main act, Little Richard.
