Think about it. The Beatles basically started as a band playing Little Richard music. Jimi Hendrix started at Richard's guitarist. Jerry Lee Lewis stole Richard's entire act.

The speed, volume, salaciousness and raucousness of Rock & Roll ALL came from Little Richard. Tutti Fruiti was actually a song about gay sex that Richard changed the lyrics for for the mainstream. You don't get more salacious than that. And he was doing that in FIFTIES. They yelping, screaming and hollering on record. WAY ahead of his time.
