He was one of the first inductees into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Today, music fans around the world are mourning the passing of Little Richard (Richard Wayne Penniman) at 87 from cancer.
In 1991, nearly 35 years after it first charted, Richard revisited one of his earliest hits, "Good Golly, Miss Molly", for the soundtrack to the John Goodman film, "King Ralph". Goodman himself sang it during the movie, but Richard's modern take, produced by Jeff Lynne of the Electric Light Orchestra & Traveling Wilburys fame, was played over the closing credits after Goodman's cover of Gene Chandler's "Duke of Earl".
Seems Richard taught Goodman some of his tricks at the piano before the filming began.
