Another unforgettable and one-of-a-kind voice, will be missed, rock on in heaven Little Richard.

Well that sucks.

Kinda can't help but wonder how upset Marc Mero is right now.

At least three "wrestling people" will get it.

He is a celebrity who I have known all my life. I saw him in June 2003 in concert. I knew him from his 90s television appearances but soon learned how he defined the music industry for all races and inspired within many genres. May this colorful personality receive peace but those who met their role model and his children be able to keep the inspiring memories.

Had no idea he was that old.

Little Richard, Founding Father of Rock and roll Who Broke Musical Barriers, Dead at 87. My character in WCW wrestling that Dusty Rhodes created for me to portray was based on him. Here he is holding a poster of me back in 1993. Some great memories!

COMIN' TO THE WRESTLEMANIA 10!!!!!

That Johnny B Bad gimmick! 😂😂😂

He's so pretty, he should've been born a little girl! OWWWW, have mercy! :lol:

Actually a big, big Johnny B. Badd fan, not gonna lie. :lol:

I hope he saw the light.

One of the greats of Rock N Roll. RIP.

He was an inspiration to many.

Rest at peace, Mr. Penniman.

This is truly sad. Heard about it on Monday, but today was the first I've been able to post about it. This one strikes particularly close to home since Mr. D had the chance to meet (and witness a food fight involving!) him in high school while performing as an extra in the movie Leap of Faith which was filming in Las Colinas at the time. He said Mr. Richard was nice and funny, as were most of the cast he met. He got to see- and take part in- the tent revival scenes, where Little Richard played. He said it was a fun time, and wished he could have gotten their autographs, but since it was a Christian school outing, they weren't allowed to ask.

RIP, Little Richard, you will be missed.
