Personal memories of Little Richard and his connection to Milwaukee
While experiencing great sadness at the news of the passing last week, at 87, of the groundbreaking Little Richard Penniman, I recall my distinct pleasure watching him in person on a number of occasions in Milwaukee during his hey-day in the 1950s and talking at length with him by telephone here in 1991.
Indeed, among the many great, black performers I have known and interviewed from the era of original black rhythm and blues (1948-62)—from the likes of Antoine “Fats” Domino to Ruth Brown—Little Richard was in a class by himself.
In addition to “Long Tall Sally”—my all-time Little Richard favorite—I best loved “Baby Face” and “By the Light of the Silvery Moon.”
During his long career, the 5-feet-10 Little Richard—capitalizing on the names of Little Willie John, Little Anthony and Little Esther—sang the theme song in two movies, The Girl Can’t Help It (1956) and $Dollars (1971).
Now Little Richard Penniman—the architect of rock ‘n’ roll and its most influential and uniquely powerful performer—is gone.

Fashion designer Virgil Abloh issued a lengthy statement on Monday in response to criticism of his earlier remarks about people looting stores amid protests over the death of George Floyd, a Black man killed by a white police officer.
Over the weekend, the founder of the fashion label Off-White posted a message on Instagram denouncing the “kids that ransacked” his friend Sean Wotherspoon’s Round Two Vintage store and his own stores in Los Angeles.
On Monday, Abloh posted a lengthy explanation and apology to his followers, attempting to clarify his position on the damaged stores and those who stole from them.
In addition, Abloh, who is also artistic director of Louis Vuitton’s menswear, offered up an explanation for that $50 donation to bail funds and for posting about it.
I apologize that appeared to some as if that was my only donation to these important causes,” Abloh explained, adding that he has donated $20,500 to bail funds ― and additional money to related causes.
