More quotes by Little Richard

His rhythm is the only one I can sing my songs to.

The Beatles are just a phenomenon; everything that the people say they are, they are. They're great. ... Their music is just melodious.

I call my music the healing music … It makes the blind feel that they can see, the lame feel that they can walk, the deaf and dumb that they can hear and talk.

A lot of songs I sang to crowds to get their reaction. That's how I knew they'd hit.
