The Big Life of Little Richard (hardcover book)
The Big Life of Little Richard
book by Mark Ribowsky
The first major biography of Little Richard, a rollicking, nuanced celebration of the late singer/songwriter’s life and his role in the history of American music.
Tutti Frutti, Rip It Up, Good Golly Miss Molly, Lucille, Long Tall Sally, Keep A-Knockin’...
Little Richard blazed the trail for generations of musicians - he was The Originator, The Innovator, and the self-anointed King and Queen of Rock ’n’ Roll.
When he died on May 9, 2020, The Big Life of Little Richard―a nearly-completed book―was immediately updated to cover the international response to his death.
