Little Richard (Richard Wayne Penniman) is 84 years old today.

Little Richard infused gospel tones with blues music during his performances
as a teenager. He performed for the first time onstage when he was fourteen
and released his first single "Tutti Frutti" in 1955.

Richard has stated that,”I’m still singing. I don’t perform like I used to, but I
have my singing voice, I walk around, I had hip surgery a while ago but I’m
healthy.”
