Preach on, brother!
Saw the "I Am Everything" docu recently, quite liked it - especially because a good portion of it is directly from Richard over the years.

FWIW, I don’t remember anyone ever mentioning Little Richard once when I was in school. I only learned about his music through the Beatles and as much as I love Little Richard now, I can’t imagine what else would have led me to his work - maybe the obituaries surrounding his death or maybe William Klein’s film, but that would mean many years later. (I didn’t see Klein’s film until sometime during the 2010s.)

aw, Little Richard was the first artist i really loved, along with James Brown maybe.
He had a big feature in the Life mag Dec 92 "40 years of rock n roll" special edition that i swiped from my grandfather. I got into music using that pub as a guide to the library's AV collection, which also featured lots of Richard.
i actually made my own Little Richard figurine out of polymer clay, since i couldn't find one in any stores.
