James Brown is called the Godfather of Soul. Elvis, of course, is the King. In the Legends of Rock \u0026amp; Roll: Chuck Berry book, we learned that Chuck Berry is the Father of Rock and Roll. Little Richard called himself the “Architect of Rock and Roll”. As we learn more about his life and music, I think you’ll agree that Little Richard, like others, had a lot to do with the shaping of the music and laying the foundation for Rock and Roll with his explosive music and charismatic personality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAlong with Elvis Presley, Little Richard helped define the wild side of early rock and roll with sexualized songs and outrageous behavior on stage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is a thumbnail sketch of the life of Little Richard Penniman.
