Sobre este artículo
Hardback. New. <b>The first major biography of Little Richard, a rollicking, nuanced celebration of the late singer/songwriterâs life and his role in the history of American musicâgospel, soul, rock, and more</b><br /><br /> âTutti Fruttiâ ⢠âRip It Upâ ⢠âGood Golly Miss Mollyâ ⢠âLucilleâ ⢠âLong Tall Sallyâ ⢠âYou Keep A-Knockinââ<br /><br /> Little Richard blazed the trail for generations of musiciansâThe Beatles, James Brown, the Everly Brothers, Jimi Hendrix, the Rolling Stones, Elton John, Prince . . . the list seems endless. He was âThe Originator,â âThe Innovator,â and the self-anointed âKing and Queen of Rock ânâ Roll.â When he died on May 9, 2020, <i>The Big Life of Little Richard</i>âa nearly-completed bookâwas immediately updated to cover the international response to his death. It is the first major biography of Macon, Georgiaâs Richard Wayne Penniman, who was, until his passing, the last rock god standing.<br /><br /> Mark Ribowsky, acclaimed biographer of musical iconsâthe Supremes, the Temptations, Stevie Wonder, Otis Reddingâtakes readers through venues, gigs, and studios, conveying the sweaty energy of music sessions limited to a few tracks on an Ampex tape machine and vocals sung along with a live band. He explores Little Richardâs 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.<br /><br /> <i>The Big Life of Little Richard</i> not only explores a legendary stage persona, but also a complex life under the makeup and pomade, the neon-lit duds and piano pyrotechnics, along with a full-body dive into the waters of sexual fluidity.<br /><br /> By 2020, eighty-seven-year-old Little Richardâs electrifying smile was still intact, as were his bona fides as rockâs kingly architect: the â50s defined his reign, and he extended elder statesmanship ever since. His biggest smash, âTutti Frutti,â is one of historyâs most covered songsâa staple of the pre-Invasion Beatlesâand Elvis pivoted from country to blues rock after Little Richard made R&Bâs sexual overtones a fundament of the new musical order. Even Hendrix, the greatest instrumentalist in rock history, toured with him before launching a meteoric solo career.<br /><br /> 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.<br /><br />
