Adiós a un pionero: falleció Little Richard Músico y artista tenía 87 Sábado, 09 de Mayo de 2020 87 años tenía el estadounidense, uno de los llamados pioneros del estilo, al momento de partir de este mundo, según información oficializada por su hijo, Danny Jones Penniman. Sentado junto al piano, peinados provocativos, letras cargadas a lo sexual y una voz despampanante y exhuberante, Little Richard se transformó en una influencia absoluta por su aporte en la primera época del rock & roll, con las generaciones siguientes venerando constantemente su figura. "Escuché a Little Richard y Jerry Lee Lewis, y eso fue todo. Nunca quise ser otra cosa", dijo Elton John una vez, refiriéndose a uno de sus ídolos. Pero no solo él, The Beatles, Scorpions, Creedence Clearwater Revival y muchos más lo han reconocido. Una verdadera pena, se va uno de los iniciadores de esta música que disfrutamos tanto. Solo queda agradecer todo lo hecho por Little Richard. Desde el momento en que se conoció la noticia, varios artistas han expresado su pesar-desde Bob Dylan a Mick Jagger-, citándolo como una verdadera influencia. 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.— Bob Dylan (@bobdylan) May 9, 2020 RIP Little Richard, a very sad loss. My thoughts are with his loved ones.??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— Jimmy Page (@JimmyPage) May 9, 2020 pic.twitter.com/uvyhO0uNtA— Mick Jagger (@MickJagger) May 9, 2020 Ver esta publicación en Instagram This is Little Richard. His Tutti Frutti exploded when I was eight years old, awakening a positive anarchy in a little girl?s heart. Nothing was the same after hearing his exciting and excitable voice. In 1955 we were stomping in our Buster Brown shoes, and the name of the energy was Little Richard! Farewell voice of an age; he commingles with the firmament now. image:@jimedblanchard Una publicación compartida por This is Patti Smith (@thisispattismith) el 9 de May de 2020 a las 7:32 PDT MESSAGE FROM IGGY: ?Dear Little Richard, thank you, RIP?— Iggy Pop (@IggyPop) May 9, 2020 So sad Little Richard passed away. He married my husband and I. He was really one of the truely great rock and roll singers and one of the rock and roll pioneers. He will be missed????— Cyndi Lauper (@cyndilauper) May 9, 2020 From 'Tutti Frutti' to 'Long Tall Sally' to 'Good Golly, Miss Molly' to 'Lucille', Little Richard came screaming into my life when I was a teenager. I owe a lot of what I do to Little Richard and his style; and he knew it. He would say, 'I taught Paul everything he knows'. pic.twitter.com/96bOzphhs8— Paul McCartney (@PaulMcCartney) May 10, 2020 Without a doubt - musically, vocally and visually - he was my biggest influence. Seeing him live in my teens was the most exciting event in my life at that point. Goosebumps, electricity and joy came from every pore. pic.twitter.com/Enno1mgfTO— Elton John (@eltonofficial) May 9, 2020 Sing in Peace Little Richard. Bless you! No one had a greater hand in creating Rock n Roll, the Sacred Weapon that continues to heal our troubled world. Eternal Love and Thanks. pic.twitter.com/rWdSOIe7C5— Nils Lofgren (@nilslofgren) May 9, 2020 News of Little Richard passing is fuckin depressing. I don?t know what else to say.— Laura Jane Grace (@LauraJaneGrace) May 9, 2020 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— Gene Simmons (@genesimmons) May 9, 2020 Little Richard was one of the original rock 'n' rollers-- He was THE ORIGINAL GLAM ROCKER, and he took a lot of abuse for being in the first wave. He forged a path for all of us who followed. pic.twitter.com/LKTxaPa2S2— Joan Jett (@joanjett) May 9, 2020 So sad to hear that my old friend Little Richard has passed. There will never be another!!! He was the true spirit of Rock?n Roll! pic.twitter.com/yU1EJmjejU— Keith Richards (@officialKeef) May 9, 2020 Tags #Little Richard # LittleRichard Please enable JavaScript to view the comments powered by Disqus.
