The Life and Times of Little Richard by Charles White (1984, Hardcover)

I didn't get past the first chapter because of a personal problem but the pictures were awesome and it looked like a great read, explained why Little Richard became the King Of Rock & Roll LONGGGGG before Elvis Presley.
Told about his mother and father and how they were decent good people and the 11 brothers & sisters he had. Learned his name was really Ricardo Penniman, but the hospital refused to put it on the birth certificate, and added Richard instead, and because he was small for his size, one leg shorter then the other, they called him "Little" Richard. A very moving story and that was just what I gleen from the first chapter and the back and front covers. Would recommend this book to anyone interested in the TRUTH of this great legend.
