Little Richard, who has died at the age of 87, was the self-styled "king and queen of rock 'n' roll".
Off stage, he set the benchmark for wild and debauched behaviour. He was the devout believer in God who indulged freely in the lurid temptations of fame.
On stage, he was a one-man hurricane, the manic piano playing and raspy voice appealing across the racial divides of segregated America.
He lit the beacon of a revolution in music in the late 1950s and inspired a legion who took it forward.
"Mick Jagger used to watch my act," he would boast. "Where do you think he got that walk?"
