Description
Little Richard blazed the trail for generations of musicians up to his death on May 9, 2020. The '50s defined his reign, and he extended elder statesmanship ever since. Ribowsky explores Little Richard's musicianship; his family life; his uphill battle against racism; his interactions with famous contemporaries and the media; and his lifelong inner conflict between his religion and his sexuality. Whenever someone pushes the music and culture of rock to its outer borders, one should turn to Little Richard for assurance that anything is possible. -- adapted from jacket
