1. Ah yes. Richard Penniman (sp?)
One of the original wildmen of Rock and Roll. I echo your sentiments and wish him a very happy birthday and hope he has a few more.

3. I'd say he's far more of an architect than Elvis was.
Elvis had a few good tracks, certainly, but Little Richard and Chuck Berry were definitely the creative influence that started a new chapter in the history of music. :loveya: them both, even to this day.
