“I will miss you Richard.”

❥

“I’m so saddened to hear about the passing of Little Richard… He was the biggest inspiration of my early teens and his music still has the same raw electric energy when you play it now, when it first shot through the music scene in the mid ’50’s. When we were on tour with him I would watch his moves every night and learn from him how to entertain and involve the audience and he was always so generous with advice to me.  He contributed so much to popular music, I will miss you Richard.”

-Mick Jagger
