He lived the sex and drugs and rock 'n' roll lifestyle, like so many others, sampling the goods from both side of the buffet, as it were. Nobody bats an eyelid about that these days. Indeed, when talking about the great Freddie Mercury, it's considered almost charming.
Here's to you, Mr Penniman. You blazed a trail.

ynfa - // Berry took a girl to work as a waitress to work in one of his restaurants.
Unbeknown to him, she started up as a prostitute, and because she was fourteen, Berry was prosecuted under the Mann Act - specifically transporting a minor across a state line for immoral purposes.
Berry felt victimised by an all white, all male jury, but he served two years and paid a $5,000 fine for his trouble.

There are very few musicians and bands to whom the phrase " ... changed the course of modern music ... " can be applied after their name, but Richard was undoubtedly one of them.
Without him, there would have been no Buddy Holly and no Beatles, and therefore, no pop music as we know it now.
I regret being that bit too young to have appreciated the impact he must have made on society when he exploded into it.
The quiff, the make-up, the screams, the foot on the piano, it must have been like something from another planet!
I adore his music, and his attitude to life, which remain undiminished by his sad passing.
Gone but never forgotten - RIP Richard.

roy - // Simple really...there would have been a Buddy Holly and Beatles //
Clearly there would.
But in the context of the thread, it is clear that I was inferring that without the influence of musicians like Little Richard, the music that would have been created by Buddy Holly, and The Beatles, would possibly have been markedly different.
In the context of the thread, that's a reasonable assumption to make.
So that makes your response mere nit-picking for the sake of having a pop because of your own personal animosity.
It adds nothing to the debate, so I think we can leave it there.
You have had another pointless pop, I hope it makes you feel better, and we can all move on.
