The Rollicking Innuendo filled Tootie Fruity first sent Little Richard rocking across American airwaves in 1955. Born Richard Penneman, 23 years earlier in Macon, Georgia.

Little Richard became known for his explosive stage presence and a larger than life persona.

A new documentary, Little Richard: I am Everything by filmmaker Lisa Cortes, explores the impact of the iconic musician.

Lisa Cortes, Director, "Little Richard: I Am Everything": What I've done in the film is to actually present him as stardust, as someone who's like a supernova from another planet that just poom, burst and all this stardust comes to the earth. And that's like the essence of Richard and part of my thesis that we all have a little bit of his DNA in us.
