Little Richard

“I did what I did, and I do what I do, and I'm me.”

“I was the first to put the funk in the rock 'n' roll beat.”

“I was wearing makeup and eyelashes when no men were wearing them.”

“I'm the king of rock and roll, and the queen, too.”

“I am the architect of rock 'n' roll. I am the originator.”

“A-wop-bop-a-loo-bop-a-lop-bam-boom!”

“Elvis may be the King of Rock and Roll, but I am the Queen.”

“My music is the healing music. It's the music that makes you feel good.”

“I'm not conceited. I'm convinced.”

“Shut up!”

“A lot of people call me the architect of rock & roll. I don't call myself that, but I believe it's true.”

“I believe I'm the creator. I'm the innovator. I'm the emancipator. I'm the architect of rock and roll.”

“I came from a family where my people didn't like rhythm and blues.”

“Some people would say that I'm egotistical, but I'm not. I'm a confident person.”

“Without God, I am nothing. I am nothing.”

“The beautiful thing about rock 'n' roll is that it's a black-and-white music.”
